About Me

My photo
As a youth art educator, I am self-motivated, dependable with extensive experience teaching students from diverse backgrounds including formal and informal: public schools, museums, community art centers, recreation centers, and camps. I have always had an interest in education and learning through art and in 2010, I pursued my Masters of Science in Art Education at Rochester Institute of Technology and certification to teach in New York State. This intense, lengthy process involved both the classroom and 12 weeks of student teaching. This expanded my philosophy of education and ideas about learning. I believe in curricular integration and lessons plans in art education relating to core subjects. Also, developing research strategies and curriculum planning focusing on projects is an asset of mine. Being an art educator I am always thinking creatively and adapting to new situations and have the ability to take the initiative.

The 21st Century Conference was wonderful!! I am now trained in "Project Learning Tree"! I also made several other valuable connections through networking. Now I am finishing up the Summer SACC program, which is heading up to Camp Sunshine on the other side of the Continental Divide. It is so great to get the students outside and have them explore nature. I just love being part of the process. We will be making friendship bracelets, beading, weaving, creating land-yard creations and more. Next week I will be organizing my closet in the gym getting ready for the SACC program to begin at Bryant School!
"Rainbows Within Reach" will be my theme for the year
