Bio
Carole Nickle
Andrea brings an incredible combination of creative thinking and attention to detail that makes her an ideal art teacher for international schools. I had the pleasure of working with Andrea for two years at GEMS World Academy Dubai when I supervised her middle school classes. Every time I entered Andrea's classroom, I was amazed at the focused, joyful energy of the students. Andrea's organization and skilled planning meant that every moment was maximized as students understood what they were to do and why. Her artistic eye meant that she brought beautiful touches to her classroom and the school! Andrea would be an asset to any school.

Andrea is extraordinary. We worked as colleagues in Dubai. She was the first art teacher I’d ever worked with to jump at the chance to participate in our school productions. No questions asked, she led a small army of children to develop their skills to create all of our set designs. She is the kind of teacher who believes anything is possible and instills this in her students. As a colleague, we worked hand in hand to build the fine arts program at our school. I can not recommend her enough. She is exactly the teacher admin want in the classrooms, colleagues want at the collaboration table and parents want inspiring their children.
