Fondest Art Memory
I took art throughout my education in Jeffco. It was always my favorite class in elementary, junior high and high school and always my first choice as an elective. Besides enjoying doing the art, I loved being able to talk to my friends while working.
Influence on Teaching Career
I'm sure being an art teacher now is a direct result of the classes and teachers I had during my time as a student in Jeffco Schools. I remember the experience of creating and learning in the art rooms of each school I attended. The teachers who stand out the most in my mind were Mr. Rucker at Juchem, Mrs. Rusch at Mandalay and Mrs. Huntley at Pomona.

Fondest Art Memory
I just really liked my art teachers. Brodie, Zwybomer, Scholes and Lovett in High School. Also winning awards in the Jeffco shows for my own artwork.
Influence on Teaching Career
I always try to be an inspiration to my students and make class fun and memorable. Letting students use this class as an outlet for creativity and experimentation is what keeps it fun for me.
