Philosophy Statement:
I believe it is my responsibility as a VSAI Teaching Artist to use my knowledge, experience and skills to instruct my students in the arts. The arts are a pathway to learning. The knowledge, experience and skills that my students gain through the production of art lead to not only learning, but the development of confidence, life skills and a new outlook on life. I enjoy being a part of helping to facilitate this wonderful process.
