I am currently an Ontario High school Art teacher with 12 years teaching experience, including Art Department Head and Coordinator. My experience includes 4 years overseas in International Schools concentrating on American Core Standards, as well as extensive knowledge of Ontario Curriculum and AP Studio Art.
My extensive knowledge and experience teaching Special needs students has taught me that everyone has the innate ability to enter into the Creative process at their own level. I meet students where they are and maximize their creative potential by scaffolding lessons and skill building one step at a time.
I am a 2 time Ontario Arts Council Arts and Education grant winner, and have received numerous Arts Culture and Heritage Awards from the City of Windsor.
