ABOUT ME!
This will be my 4th year teaching Art at Tustin High School and I am very excited to begin this school year.
I love ceramics and I love teaching... which makes this my dream job and I will try my best to get you as excited about clay as I am. I grew up in Long Beach California and I have my Bachelor in Fine Arts from CSULB with a emphasis in ceramics. After I received my BFA I taught swimming lessons to babies for 3 years and travelled around Europe when ever I could. I then decided to go back to school and get my teaching credential from CSULB.
Family and relationships are very important to me.
I love the water and I was a swimmer in high school. I also surf, scuba dive, wakeboard, and snowboard. I love being active and try new things when ever I can.
I enjoy using technology and I hope that you use this website as much as possible to learn more about ceramics. There are also a bunch of ceramic artists on Instagram that I hope you will follow.

ABOUT US - NAME SWITCHING
Write your name on your name tag
Pair up with a person that you do not know and tell the person as much as you can about yourself for 30 seconds.
Example of questions:
What is your favorite food?
What is your favorite subject in school?
What is your family like?
What do you like to do for fun?
Do you play any sports?
Where have you travelled?
Exchange name tags, choose a different partner and introduce yourself as the person whose name tag you are wearing. Use all the information that was told to you by your previous partner.
Repeat this process 3 more times.
Now, find the person whose name tag you are wearing and find out how much of the information was accurate and how much was lost in translation.
