• Animation & Media Arts Teacher

  • Jun 2020 - Present

  As the Animation & Media Arts Teacher at Windward, I teach five sections of introductory and upper level animation and media courses for grades 7-12. My program explores time-based storytelling with an emphasis on developing a student’s personal voice and portfolio. Students acquire a global perspective on storytelling voices while developing characteristics of leadership, empathy, and independence. Simultaneously, Animation and Media Arts students learn to expand their artistic vocabulary and skills in discussion-based critique. Technical skills are gained in the areas of drawing, introductory film production, Adobe Creative Suite, and 3D modeling & animation. I am also an acting member and teacher in the Upper School Seminar Program.
