Why are you interested in teaching?<br />
I enjoy teaching art and hope to <strong>of</strong>fer much to students as a<br />
teacher. I want to teach in a way that helps students access<br />
their creative potential, express and explore themselves, and<br />
help them invest in their work. I hope to inspire people, young<br />
an old, to take on challenges in life creatively and with vision.<br />

Tell us about your experience at the U.<br />
I have had many exceptional experiences at the U <strong>of</strong> U.<br />
Courses involving service learning have been great, bridging<br />
theory and practice, and thus enhancing each aspect. Working<br />
with and learning from youth and teachers at SLC high schools,<br />
especially through the lens <strong>of</strong> everything I‘m learning at school<br />
and aiming to grow as a teacher, has been inspiring.<br />
