I'm a passionate educator of digital art and technology with over 5 years of experience. I believe that creativity, combined with critical thinking and problem-solving skills, is essential not just for academic success but for all aspects of life. It equips students with the ability to navigate challenges, think innovatively, and seize new opportunities in their personal and professional lives.

I am dedicated to helping students understand complex concepts by using a variety of teaching methods, including analogies and practical examples, ensuring that each student can grasp the material in a way that makes sense to them. I support skill development through a gradual release of responsibility, scaffolding learning experiences to empower students to take charge of their own learning. This approach helps students become more confident and independent, allowing them to walk away with a solid understanding and the ability to apply their knowledge effectively.
