Affiliations
- I am a creative and artistic individual with a strong passion for both visual arts and music, which I love incorporating into activities with children. I play the acoustic guitar and ukulele and enjoy expressing creativity through drawing, acrylic painting, and clay sculpting. My artistic background helps me engage children in hands-on learning, encourage self-expression, and create a positive, imaginative classroom environment.
