As a former intern and assistant teacher at a non-profit art space, I gained valuable experience in creating and implementing art summer camps for students of all ages. After earning my Bachelor's degree in Fine Art, I transitioned into a teaching career, where I became a 6th-12th grade teacher at a Charter School. During this time, I honed my skills in creating engaging lesson plans and fostering a positive classroom environment. As a certified yoga teacher, with specializations in teen yoga and meditation, I have integrated mindfulness practices into my teaching. I have also had the opportunity to run my own business visiting schools and facilitating mindfulness sessions and hosting yoga and mindfulness events for middle school students with an artistic flair. My unique background in both art education and mindfulness practices has allowed me to bring a creative and holistic approach to my teaching. I am dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive learning environment for all students, and I am passionate about sharing my experiences and knowledge with other educators.
