TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I previously taught high school English/ literature and Art at a wonderful school in my hometown in Hawaii. After teaching for several years, I decided to return to graduate school to become a child counselor. I currently work in both the school and private practice settings where I teach social emotional skills to youth and do group therapy. You will notice a diverse range of products in my store reflecting this journey from teaching to counseling!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I like to incorporate a lot of activities and expressive arts into my teaching and counseling. Design and aesthetics are important to me, so you will notice I spend time to make sure my products are well-designed and beautiful.
