About Me

Experience Summary

During the school year, I work as a curriculum coordinator and art teacher for an after school program in Lexington, Ma. This is my 6th year of teaching stimulating and unique art projects to children in grades K-5. I have interned as a graphic designer and also had jobs as a wedding photographer. During the summer, I work as an assistant director to a summer enrichment program in Winchester, Ma. Outside of work- I am a member at large of the Boston Guild of Puppeteers, and also work on my own art which includes building my portfolio of paintings to show and sell, as well as complete small digital photography jobs.

Teaching Style

I go as fast or as slow as the student needs. I encourage students to try new techniques and ideas so they are self-aware of the process and learning experience that leads to self-improvement and development.

My Hobbies

Puppetry, painting, printmaking and photography.

Other Comments

I can help serious high school art students develop their portfolios for college and scholarship applications, as well as recommend universities and programs, or other outlets of where to go next as an emerging artist.

Subject Commentary

Creative Arts Proficiency: Expert
This is my sixth year of teaching art lessons to children in an after school program in Lexington, Ma. Every May we host a public art show to debut the children's top projects. I am experienced in printmaking, needlecraft, how to make a winter fleece hats, make a better diorama for school projects, create a mobile, or make a pop-up interactive display board, jewelry, sand art, you name it!
Drama Proficiency: Experienced
I specialize in puppetry! It is great for helping quiet children find their voice, and students of any age to build self-confidence in front of an audience.
Drawing Proficiency: Experienced
I received my bachelor of fine arts degree in Studio Arts and Graphic Design, so I am confident teaching any style or use of medium in Drawing.
Graphic Design Proficiency: Experienced
I have my degree in Graphic Design, interned as a graphic designer for six months, and have done small projects for private customers. I am efficient in the Adobe programs including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Digital photography is also one of my hobbies. I am comfortable teaching the art and technique of digital photography.
Painting Proficiency: Experienced
I worked for 3 years painting custom design and replications of needlepoint templates for a boutique on Newbury Street in Boston. I also have been building my portfolio of nature prints and paintings to show and sell. I am comfortable teaching all mediums including mixed media.
Sculpting Proficiency: Experienced
Sculpting is a great medium in that it can be done in so many different ways: clay, paper-mache, found objects, recycled materials, wood. I have done several of my own sculptures in college and out, and teach children different sculpting projects throughout the year.
