It is an honor to represent and serve RI Art Educators.  In this role, I will strive to represent and promote the interests of arts education in RI – and for our association members.

In the ever-changing times which we are in, it is my goal to…. 

• Develop a strong Advocacy team of Art Educators to create loud voices in our community demonstrating the importance of the Arts to RIDE while showcasing the Arts are ALIVE and well in RI Arts Education!

• Offer Professional Development opportunities to RI Art Educators that are meaningful in our everyday teaching lives.  Specifically, focusing on the design of Culturally Appropriate lessons in the Art room.

• Reach out to Art Educators around Rhode Island to hear their wants and needs as members of RIAEA.  

• Encourage other Art Educators to participate in RIAEA opportunities as the Arts in Rhode Island will always need many voices and leaders!
