I value these differences and strive to create an inclusive environment where each student is supported and treated as an individual. I also enjoy learning from my students, reflecting on my own perspectives, and continuously growing in my practice. I am always eager to learn, open to new ideas, and willing to take on challenges. My passion for education comes from a genuine love of learning and a desire to help students discover their strengths. I aim to encourage, motivate, and inspire my students while sharing my enthusiasm for the arts. I currently serve as the Art Department Chair and an Art Teacher at Edgewood High School, where I teach a broad range of courses, including Digital Arts Foundations, Visual Arts Foundations, 2D II–III, 3D I–II, Photography II–III, Advanced Art, and AP Portfolio. Earlier in my time at Edgewood, I also served as Yearbook Advisor for four years. Send compliment
