My passion for teaching began in 2001 when I began to teach Documentary Production to middle school students in the Bronx. My passion and inspiration to teach stems from my own unique opportunity in life and has motivated me to educate and change the lives of each student I welcome into my classroom. I truly live my life through my own personal philosophy to educate, inspire, and change the lives of those who need it the most. I received a Masters of Fine Arts from City College in Film, a Masters in Science from Canisius College in Education and an undergraduate degree from SUNY New Paltz.
