Teaching Assistant · School of the Art Institute of Chicago
Over three summers I worked as a teaching assistant across a range of SAIC summer camps—from young children (ages 6–7) through middle and high school students—spanning multi-art, sculpture, fashion, and oil painting. Working alongside lead instructors, I supported demonstrations, guided students through their studio processes, helped with final exhibitions and critiques, and kept the studio safe and focused. Moving between so many media and age groups sharpened my ability to adapt my teaching to different materials, students, and creative goals.
