Teaching Artist Legacy Statement

As a creative writing and performance teacher, I am passionate about empowering individuals to find their unique voice and express their emotions through storytelling.

My approach integrates social-emotional learning, fostering self-awareness, empathy, and resilience in my students. By creating a safe and supportive environment, I encourage exploration, creativity, and personal growth. Through poetry, prose, and performance, I aim to inspire my students to harness the transformative power of their words, fostering both artistic and emotional development. My ultimate goal is to help individuals connect with themselves and others, building a more empathetic and expressive community.
