I design and teach the daily lesson plans for the second-level writing course Visual Culture: Investigating Diversity & Social Justice at The Ohio State University. I use a discussion-based and hands-on approach. See the Teaching page to learn more about the course content.

I employ constructivist and inquiry-based tour pedagogies. Most recently, I developed education tours, curricula, activities, and evaluation for The Columbus Crossing Borders Project and Urur Dhex-Dhexaad Ah: Community In-Between. I have also led tours at MASS MoCA, Chesterwood, the Tang Museum, and Museo dell'Opera del Duomo.

As MASS MoCA’s Museum Educator focusing on public engagement, I spearheaded the annual Free Day, with over 4,000 attendees. I developed in-gallery artmaking activities to complement the exhibitions. I coordinated cross-departmental collaboration to organize performances, a photo booth, and other programs in the galleries, in addition to organizing all-hands-on-deck staff coverage.

I lead professional development opportunities for educators at The Phillips Collection, including the arts integration course Connecting to the Core Curriculum. To dive deeper into a particular subject area, the educators engaged in several art techniques, including stop motion animation, blackout poetry, and contour line drawings. 

As the Director of Art Ninjas Camp at MASS MoCA, I designed the curriculum using multiple modalities, from structured to imaginative play. I instructed the daily activities, art projects, and mindfulness practice, while supervising camp staff. To ensure the camp aligned with state standards and was of the highest quality, I oversaw administrative details, such as establishing policies, coordinating the licensure, conducting outreach for scholarships, and corresponding with parents.

I trained MASS MoCA's new seasonal tour guides three times a year. I restructured the tour training program to include both content- and technique-based training sessions with curators, educators, and seasoned guides. I facilitated peer and one-on-one practice tours.

MASS MoCA’s 10 local, Title I partnership schools visit MASS MoCA at least two-three times a year for visits to the galleries and a performing arts event. I developed teacher guides for the performances to align the performance with state standards and provide in-class activities.
