Ms. Robinson has extensive knowledge in the crochet arts. She is an online Tutor, Paraeducator, and Teacher.

Throughout my career in education, I have developed a strong foundation for fostering creativity and critical thinking among students. I have had the privilege of designing and implementing art programs that engage learners and inspire them to explore their unique artistic voices in many afterschool programs since 2019. My extensive experience across various mediums—such as painting, yarn and needlework, jewelry making, and digital arts—has equipped me with the versatility to adapt my teaching methods and cater to diverse learning styles.

Passion and a strong work ethic are the cornerstones of success in any role. I approach every project with dedication and enthusiasm, striving to create an inclusive environment where collaboration flourishes. I understand the importance of patience and consistency, whether simplifying lesson plans or enhancing classroom dynamics.
