In my role as an assistant teacher/mentor at the International Center of Photography’s community partnership with Friends of Island Academy and the Center for Alternative Sentencing and Employment Services (CASES), I assisted for a class of 15 students aged 16-26, all of whom had been involved in the NY court system. In this role, I was responsible for providing instruction in the basics of digital photography, writing, and public speaking as integrated into the pre-existing educational goals of Friends and CASES.
