Don't just learn, experience.

From teaching Art at elementary schools in some of the most culturally diverse neighborhoods in the city to teaching at some of the most prestigious colleges in the Chicago area. Much as I hope students learned from me, I am equally appreciative and grateful for the learning I took from my students. I continually learn as I teach and strive to experiment with new innovative ways of engaging in the learning process.
