I am pursuing a single-subject teaching credential as a Visual Arts Teacher through CSU Chico. I currently teach high school Art 1 courses that focus on foundational skills, creativity, and cultural awareness.

My classroom serves a diverse population that includes English Learners, IEPs, and 504 students. I design lessons that are inclusive, differentiated, and aligned with the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework.

Core Professional Strengths:

• Equity-centered and culturally relevant teaching

• Inquiry-based and project-based learning design

• Classroom management grounded in trust and respect

• Strong collaboration with colleagues and families

• Digital art integration and technology-enhanced instruction

My goal as an educator is to inspire students to see themselves as artists and problem solvers capable of shaping the world around them.

​

My teaching philosophy is rooted in constructivist and sociocultural learning theories, where knowledge is built collaboratively through shared experiences, dialogue, and creative practice. I view the classroom as a community of artists and thinkers who learn from one another.
