professional background

1) TEACHING GOALS

My primary goal is to be the very best teacher I can be. I hope to connect with and inspire my students, and for my classroom to be a safe place for experimentation, mistakes, successes and most of all learning.

It is also my goal to constantly learn and improve in my instruction. I aim to demonstrate that while I grow as an artist, my personal art practice continually improves and influences my teaching practice too, in a creative feedback loop.

My final goal is to serve my students within their community in Hawaii to the best of my ability. Teachers are an integral part of the community. By fostering partnerships with families and collaborating with the local community I can help my students to build bridges between the art they make in school, their cultural roots (in Hawaii and beyond) and their further education or professional practice.
