Education
Colby Sawyer College Major: Bachelor of Fine Arts Minor: Education GPA: 3.5 University of New Hampshire Major: Master of Art in Teaching (K-12 Art) Minor: Studio Art GPA: 3.9 I transferred to Colby-Sawyer College from Lesley University in Cambridge. While at Lesley, my major was English Education where I took classes such as Sophomore Literature, Creative Writing, Scriptwriting, and Studying Shakespeare. After taking a painting class in my second semester, I decided that I wanted to teach art, although my prowess and love for English, writing, and creative writing has not diminished. At Colby-Sawyer I excelled in all of my art classes, such as Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Sculpture, Ceramics, Photography, and Digital Media (Photoshop and Illustrator). After completing my Bachelor's Degree at CSC, I enrolled at UNH to complete a Master’s of Art in Teaching K-12 Studio Art. I wanted to be able to immediately complete my Master’s in order to have more opportunities teaching, as many schools prefer Master Degrees over Bachelor’s. I took the required classes, but I attained invaluable experience in a year-long internship where I spent half of the school year in a high school and half of the school year in an elementary school. While I am highly competent working with all age groups, I absolutely love working with older age groups and being able to challenge them while teaching them new techniques and ways to express themselves in an artistic way.

Hobbies
One of my favorite things to do is learn! That's why I wanted to become a teacher. There are so many things I am interested in, so let me tell you about the main ones. Aside from my main hobbies of art, reading, and writing, I am fascinated and love science and, in particular, outer space. Subsequently, one of my favorite genres of entertainment is Science Fiction/Fantasy! I have spent many nights at planetariums and looking through telescopes to see the wonders that outer space has for us, and I've spent a lot of time on my own learning about space. In my free time after a long day at work, I also play video games and board games with my family and friends--especially ones that involve a lot of brainpower and working together, like puzzles or co-operative games. I enjoy cooking in the winter and swimming in the summer!
