Teaching tenure at Shillington
As a design instructor and mentor at The Shillington School of Graphic Design, I helped aspiring and emerging designers develop their skills, portfolios, and careers in the creative industry. With a teaching license from NYC Department of Education and a BFA in Graphic Design from Maine College of Art & Design, my teaching approach requires a strong foundation in design principles, tools, theory, and pedagogy. My style of teaching is progressive, direct, empathetic, and collaborative. I aim to instill a sense of empowerment and accountability in my students
