Professional Experience
Art Instructor & Studio Assistant
Art Strong, NY
May. 2024 - Present
I design and implement engaging curricula for toddler and baby sensory classes, preschool art programs, and school-age camp experiences. Each week, I lead multiple classes and host weekend birthday parties, as well as lead and assist camp programs during DOE school closures. I keep the studio running smoothly by maintaining organization, managing inventory, and ensuring a clean environment. I also support the business’s outreach by managing social media through Planable, creating email campaigns with Mailchimp, and designing marketing materials in Canva.
Art Director & Early Childhood Specialist
Kids in the Game, NY
Jun. 2022 - Aug 2024
From 2022 to 2024, I worked as a Seasonal Summer Camp Instructor, serving in both the Art Director and Early Childhood Specialist. As the Art Director in 2022, I developed and executed daily art classes for children ages 3–13, curated and showcased their artwork for the entire camp to view and managed all materials from organization to end-of-season wrap-up. In 2023 and 2024, I served as the Early Childhood Specialist for ages 3–5. I created and taught daily movement, art, and STEAM classes, ran a daily morning circle time, thus ensuring a developmentally rich and engaging experience for young campers.
Head Teacher
The East-side Day School, NY
Jan. 2021 - Jan. 2022
I developed weekly emergent, student-centered curricula inspired by the Reggio approach. I established classroom routines and expectations that supported smooth transitions throughout the day, including meals, nap time, and morning meetings. I maintained strong parent communication through emails, daily reports, weekly newsletters, phone calls, and biannual conferences. Working closely with families, I created individualized potty training, behavior, and sleep plans to support each child’s needs. I also mentored and oversaw two assistant teachers, fostering a collaborative and supportive team environment.
