As an art educator, I'm passionate about integrating sustainability and creativity into my personal and professional life. My interests include:

• Zero-Waste Living and Sustainable Practices: Exploring innovative ways to reduce waste and promote eco-friendly habits.
• Textile and Folk Art: Appreciating traditional craftsmanship and incorporating these elements into my art teaching.
• Museum Visits: Regularly visiting museums to stay inspired and informed about various art forms and historical contexts.

Community Engagement:

• Volunteer, The Zero Wasted Project: Teaching children to create art from discarded materials, promoting sustainability and creative thinking.
• Mother-Son Projects: Collaborating with my 10-year-old son on zero-waste and art initiatives, fostering his awareness of environmental responsibility and global citizenship.

These interests and experiences have enriched my approach to art education, allowing me to develop engaging, eco-friendly lesson plans that inspire students to think creatively about art and sustainability.
