From the Classroom to the Museum
​
As an Educator I have spent many years teaching arts integration lessons to students throughout the region. With that comes a comprehensive understanding of educational standards and experience in how to integrate them into Arts and Cultural Programming.
​
My expertise & experience in Arts Integration allowed me to transition into a museum setting; where I now work along side the educational team at the Crocker Art Museum to provide professional development for Educators throughout the region. Here is a sample of arts education programming.
