8 Years as an Adjunct Professor in Media Arts
My journey to become an exceptional educator started in 2010 when I earned a Masters in Arts: Educational Multimedia enabling me to instruct adults in the same field. Since then, I have serviced adults as a post-secondary media arts instructor at many well-known institutions such as The University of La Verne, Art Institute of California, DeVry and Platt College.
My next challenge is to become an exceptional public school K-12 Educational Specialist where I can apply my knowledge gained from ULV and my expertise in media arts to help ALL students.
This website promotes 6 California Teaching Performance Expectations and 6 Education Specialist Teaching Expectations for the mild/moderate special education teaching credential. I will showcase a variety of artifacts which will demonstrate my capabilities, and expertise, to earn a Special Educational Specialist credential.
