Summary

Enthusiastic Student Teacher with good leadership and interpersonal skills. Creates a safe, inclusive art classroom where students can explore their creativity and individuality. Utilizes art education that goes beyond technical skills to encourage critical thinking, self-reflection, and meaningful connections. As a student with an IEP, I understand the the need for a variety of learning styles that ensure inclusivity, where every student feels seen and empowered to learn in ways that work for them. I excel at designing open-ended lessons that encourage self-expression and engagement with cultural and social issues. By balancing structure with independence, I help students build confidence, think critically, and use art to understand themselves and the world.
