Art & English Teacher with 10+ years of experience delivering visual and art education for upper elementary and middle school and high school students. Skilled in integrating multicultural curriculum that links the arts, history, Language/English and social movements. Adept at using a positive teaching approach to motivate and encourage students' talents and growth, I’ve combined my love for teaching the wonders of art with my love for the English language. With a decade of studying this concept and engaged the students in the creative process, I’ve found this technique is a proven method in cultivating their talents while deepening their knowledge in the understanding of art, design, history and English. Much like the balance of connecting the head and heart, allowing the student to express themselves through Words and Art gives them a chance to see themselves within the language they speak in a brand new way!
