Summary

I am a retired Elementary Art Teacher from Parker Core Knowledge Charter School with over 15 years of teaching experience. I promoted a love of learning in my classroom and supported my student's creativity and self expression in the arts. I'm most proud of creating an art program that followed the curriculum and state standards while still planning fun lessons using a variety of mediums. I'm most looking forward to working with children again and being part of a team.
