GoRun Education
Art Teacher
Teaching in an English-submersion classroom, I would create art projects to then teach Chinese children, ages 3-11, grouped into age categories. I taught a variety of arts and a few crafts to help expand and encourage independent creative minds of young students who are typically exposed to a more rigid form of instruction.

I work with high-functioning adults with mental disabilities such as autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy etc. Creative Identity is a music and arts school to help these adults express themselves, improve their verbal and motor skills and any monetary benefit made from selling their pieces of art goes directly back to their families for the student's health and well-being.

San Diego Zoo
Volunteer Art Teacher
I worked with Joe Nyiri, the art teacher at the San Diego Zoo, who held classes all summer long and a few during the winter. We would go around the zoo and draw the animals. I would help teach the students (ages 3rd grade to adult) on how to construct the shapes to make the animals and how to use techniques to achieve the textures found on the animals, such as feathers and scales. We also created the murals around the zoo, like the Panda Mural (taken down because of the Cat Canyon construction), the Bug House Murals, and more. This was a great experience and further deepened my love for animals and art.
