Summary
As a teacher, I have a passion for nurturing creativity and artistic development in students and encourage them to become independent thinkers. My experience have taught me the ability to develop and execute comprehensive art programs tailored to diverse learning needs. I am a strong self-organizer with excellent communication skills and accuracy with attention to detail. I am a team player, extremely adaptable, can work under pressure, take initiative and go above and beyond in any role.
