Lead Teaching Artist
CurrentAs the lead teacher for the Youth Photo League (YPL) at the Bronx Documentary Center, I guide middle and high school students in documentary photography and filmmaking. YPL is a free program designed to empower young people in the South Bronx, focusing on social justice issues through visual storytelling.In my role, I lead students through hands-on experiences in photography, photo editing, and documentary practices. The curriculum emphasizes not only technical skills but also critical thinking, visual and news literacy, and writing. My goal is to help students explore their communities, families, and environments while encouraging them to express their unique perspectives through meaningful, creative work.
