My Educational Philosophy

As a creative leader, I intend to foster artistic experiences that enable individuality in the collaborative space. I focus on the opportunities for “creative education”, blending traditional and progressive approaches in the same learning or community environments. I have served as a classroom teacher, school district fine arts administrator, elected official in a variety of professional membership organizations, and am consistently a fierce advocate for amplifying the student voice in any space. I am an active performance clinician, leadership development consultant, and community engagement coordinator. Believing that relevance is the core to life long learning, I strive to connect through our challenges and empower glocal citizens to move our work forward.
