TEACHING ARTIST

I am a teaching artist at Farrington High School in Honolulu, Hawaii, and it is my honor and privilege to guide young creatives as they grow, learn, and develop their skills and passion for art. I am CTE (Career & Technical Education) Licensed (in Arts & Communication), from Leeward Community College, University of Hawaii, and a Highly Qualified Teacher (HQT). My Bachelors Degree is in Fine Arts (Media) from the University of New South Wales, Sydney.

I initially began teaching Ceramics in Spring of 2021, transitioned to General Art in Fall of 2022, and now teach Drawing & Painting and AP Art & Design.
