My aim as an Arts Educator is to inspire and motivate others in developing well-rounded practices and understandings of the arts through interdisciplinary methods and materials. My practices and facilitation methods are based predominantly in pedagogies of material-exploration and experiential hands-on learning, as well as conversation and collaboration. Through these methods of meaning-making, I aim to create engaging creative programming centered around themes of science, environmental awareness, food, and mental health and emotional intelligence, that encourages connection, curiosity, wonder, experimentation and play. I hope to inspire self-exploration and kindness in participants in ways that prepare and support them in their futures.
