Summary
Dedicated student seeking to further develop my teaching skills while inspiring students to explore and discover the artist within themselves and inspire them to harness their inner creativity. Committed to fostering a positive and engaging atmosphere for learners of all ages and backgrounds, regardless of race or ability. I expect to obtain my New York State Art Certification and EAS teaching certification in the Spring of 2025, and completing my degree in the Fall of 2025. This achievement will enhance my qualifications and enable me to contribute effectively to the field of art education.
