“By fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie in the classroom, I hope to create a space where students feel comfortable expressing themselves creatively and emotionally. Whether it’s through Harkness method, group projects, or even just sharing a laugh together, I want my students to know that they are valued and supported.
Ultimately, my goal is to not only help them grow as artists but also as individuals who feel connected and cared for within our school community.”

“I love introducing students to new topics, texts, and perspectives. I realize not everyone loves the subject as much as I do, so if I can help students get excited about studying history, finding topics they’re interested in, or understanding how the past can help them contextualize the present, then I’m happy.”
