About

Arts Education is vital to all student learning and growth, and should be present and integrated in all educational settings. Educators should be given the support and training necessary to cultivate and maintain strong arts programs in their communities. My teaching philosophy emphasizes community collaboration and creative personal expression, while integrating critical thinking and academic excellence in a multicultural visual art curriculum.
