    Other information:
    I am Connecticut certified to teach Art to students in grades Pre-K-12 and also have a Master's in Education.  This 2016-'17 school year will be my 13th year of teaching. My first three years were spent teaching art to youth, Grades K-12, in Alternative Education and Juvenile Detention centers throughout Connecticut. My goals are to develop positive relationships with our Thomas Hooker families, and provide a well-rounded arts program by continuously seeking new resources and approaches to learning. I wish to instill respect for self and others while helping students reach their academic and life goals. 
    This year my biggest goal is to promote Bridgeport student art, both visual and performing, in the public on a regular basis. This means seeing your child's talent showcased in local banks, restaurants and theaters!
