The Power of Education in the Arts

My primary goal is to increase awareness and foster proper utilization of the arts to aid people in the creation of a collaborative society. As a result of my unique experiences in the multidisciplinary application of art, I highly value the interwoven relationship between art and science. I wish to guide people to use art as a tool for communication and self-expression. In conjunction with this, the ability to analyze from alternative perspectives, to understand, and to problem solve, will allow anyone to map their own path to success. The basic principles of art can be extended to any field. People should internalize these basics with the goal of novel reapplication, so it is unique to them, their understanding and artistic style.

My teaching experience spans grades 8 through 12 in urban school districts. It was enjoyable and revealing working with students of underserved youth possessing different skills, learning abilities and backgrounds. Managing the difference among these students was difficult and challenging, but extremely satisfying. I tailor activities to maintain the interests of students, and with careful preparation of lessons I scaffold complicated concepts to simple steps so that my young students can grasp them completely.

I plan on converging my diverse experiences to grow the efficacy of digital learning environments and tools.
