TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been teaching for 7 years in New York City Public Schools and using my love of art and education to make each and every day fun and educational for my students. I am currently teaching at PS 39 in Brooklyn, NY.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I infuse art and creativity into everything that I teach. I know that kids get bored, so I strive to provide fun and exciting opportunities for them to learn the curriculum. I am constantly reading teaching books, going to PD and learning new things that I love to try out in my classroom. My students are independent learners who are set up for success in all that they do.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I have a bachelor's degree from The University of Michigan in Graphic Design (BFA). I have a master's degree from Hofstra University in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education.
