My goal as an educator is to present information in an exciting and novel way so that it's memorable to your learner.  I also love to create social moments throughout the lesson that give the students a chance to discuss what they have been learning and relate to the information as well as to each other.  

Students will have several opportunities throughout the class to stop and discuss what they think about the subject. These are always great little "brain breaks" for them and add to the engagement within the class.

I've been interested in arts and crafts ever since elementary school.  I was fortunate enough to work at a daycare center and led our little learners there on lots of fun an exciting art projects.  I also worked for a surfboard shaper making custom surfboards.  I gained a lot of experience at these jobs and went on to write a Philosophy paper that was published by my university in which I examined the distinction and parameters between arts and crafts.
