Affiliations

  • I have a bachelor's degree in General Illustration. I have done some freelance work for various companies. I love to create artwork, and I also enjoy incorporating it into the classroom. It is essential to encourage and allow students to have the opportunity to be creative, even in subjects such as math and science. It allows all learners from all backgrounds to discover their way to demonstrate their knowledge of the content, but using art to justify their thinking.

I hold MLL/ESL certification for K-12 and apply these competencies to support my students with special needs, particularly those undergoing evaluation by our child study team or medical professionals, as well as those with a 504 plan or an IEP. Utilizing these skills is crucial for effectively engaging all of my students and ensuring their educational needs are met.
