Fun Facts

I am a proud member of Philadelphia's performance arts community, and have curated and organized several inclusive performance and storytelling events throughout the city. I believe in the transformative nature of the arts to empower youth and can not wait to create collaborative in-person art again! I always loved writing and storytelling, and aim to provide opportunities for students to find themselves through their imagination and creative abilities.

About Me

I am a recent 2020 graduate of Moore College of Art and Design with a major in Curatorial Studies and minors in creative writing and digital arts. I envision the arts as a critical tool to proactively engage communities while facilitating self advocacy and education through the art making process. I have several years of experience as a teaching artist and love working with Philadelphia's youth. Throughout my time at Moore I maintained a 3.7 gpa and was consistently placed on Dean's list.

Experience

I have years of experience working as an educator for the Barnes Foundation as well as the Galleries at Moore. Most recently, I worked as a mentor for the Greater Cultural Alliance Arts internship program. Within the position I guided a diverse group of high school rising seniors through their virtual internships along with assistance in writing personal statement essays, college prep, and networking skills. I have additionally worked as a tutor at Moore College for 3 years in various subjects.

Approach

I understand the significance of educators who are supportive, encouraging, and adaptable. Understanding that there are various types of learners my approach to education centers study skills and learning that adapts to each student. I believe it is critical that students are the agents of their own learning and can build confidence within their education. I have experience working with k-college learners with learning differences and have training in trauma informed education and awareness.
