Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello friends, welcome to my world of films, art, writing, travel and culture. Come along with me on some fun and educating adventures as I share with my students my knowledge and experience in making and viewing films, making art while also learning all about our planet and its inhabitants. I have an MFA in film and video production and have had the opportunity to teach at various schools, galleries, universities and colleges around the world. My teaching method is interactive and hands-on. I encourage independent thinking and expression and see my role as a facilitator in the student's learning journeys.
In my free time I enjoy hiking, biking and traveling with my family or spending lazy afternoons doing art!
