Summary
I have 1 year of full-time Art classroom teaching experience and 2 years as a substitute teacher. I believe in teaching and helping students thrive in creative, supportive environments. While I have loved teaching art, I’m eager to expand my experience by working with core subjects in lower grade levels such as Kindergarten through 3rd grade (K-3). I’m excited to continue growing as an educator and gaining experience in new classroom settings and grade levels. I am also open and willing to pursue a teaching certification to further grow in this profession.
