Middle School Art Teacher, graphic designer & artist, photographer, and painter- I love to do it all.My love for education blossomed when I started my position as an instructional aide and my dream to become an educator solidified when I worked my first year as a classroom aide. After that discovery, I started working as the head art teacher at an art summer camp in Sea Isle City during my summers. As an art teacher, I strive to teach with high energy and enthusiasm, make connections, and engage with students’ interests, taking the things they love and incorporating them into art lessons. Despite these difficult times in teaching, some of my greatest moments of joy have come from seeing the successes of my students. So yes, I hope to be that art teacher standing on top of my desk engaging my students' attention and teaching them that art is for everyone, no matter the skill level.
