Organization Description

Mission statementI am an independent teaching artist, artist mentor, arts advocate and a parent volunteer passionate about bringing more art into public schools. I helped develop and implement a successful visual arts and music program called Arts Friday at West Woodland Elementary School, which has been thriving since 2009. After spending the first year managing the program, I was then hired as the visual arts teacher for 3rd-5th grades. My work as a Teaching Artist for ArtsCorps, partnered me with an afterschool program at Madrona K-8 Elementary School and at Southern Heights Elementary in Burien, WA. I taught a semi-private after school art class called Drawing Lab for a small group of third and fourth graders. In the spring of 2014, I joined Arts Impact, a professional learning organization for teachers, as one of their Artists Mentors. Through Arts Impact, I’ll be a resident artist mentor at Sand Point Elementary school facilitating one of their programs called Arts FUNdamentals. My commitment to teaching art requires ongoing development, research and practice. I am certified through Washington State Teaching Artist Training Lab and other professional development practicums such as Visual Thinking Strategies, Arts Impact, Educator programs at the Frye Art Museum, Henry Art Gallery, , Seattle Art Museum, Junior League of Seattle, Smithsonian Institute’s Center for Museum Studies and many others.
