Our Educators
As an Arts & Crafts Instructor at HCA, I support residents across all levels by helping them integrate creativity into their classrooms in meaningful and accessible ways. While my specialty lies in visual arts, I work closely with residents in all content areas to build confidence in teaching through hands-on, engaging, and student-centered activities. My goal is to model how artistic expression can enhance learning, foster community, and support diverse learners—whether in the art room or beyond. I’m passionate about encouraging residents to tap into their creativity, even if they don’t see themselves as “artistic,” and I strive to make every session a supportive space for experimentation and growth.

I'm a creative at heart with a background in marketing, brand strategy, and content creation. I love finding ways to bring ideas to life visually and I'm excited to share that passion through hands-on arts and crafts. My goal is to create a fun, welcoming space where everyone feels comfortable expressing themselves and trying something new. No experience necessary.
