I love learning with my students and seeing how they respond to the challenges they face. As an art teacher I am amazed at all their work!

Tell us why you became a teacher

I have always loved learning and still do! I also loved to help other photography students when I was in high school and realized how empowering the arts were for me personally. I still enjoy that being an art teacher allows me to inquire, discover, and create infinitely while helping my students to do the same.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable experience was helping a student apply for college and watching their reaction when they received an acceptance letter and scholarship offer. This student had a very difficult journey and really found their identity as an artist. They also were recognized by Scholastic Art & Writing with a gold medal in New York! It’s so rewarding to see a student succeed, especially when they doubted themselves previously.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would buy a raku kiln for my school, fix up some repairs in our home, and take my family of four on a memorable trip of some kind!
