About me...

My practice is grounded in the belief that art education is most powerful when it is inclusive, socially responsive, and accessible to learners across diverse contexts.

During my teacher placements, I have worked across a wide range of Irish post-primary school settings, including voluntary co-educational schools, CEIST schools, ETSS, and DEIS ETB co-educational environments. This breadth of experience has strengthened my ability to adapt teaching methods to different learning needs, school cultures, and socio-economic contexts. As a developing educator, I have become especially committed to equitable access in education, with a growing interest in supporting students with diverse learning profiles and ensuring that creativity is not limited by background or circumstance.

As both an artist and an educator, I draw from Fine Art Painting to inform my approach to teaching, viewing visual art not only as a subject but as a tool for critical thinking, identity formation, and developmental growth. My practice considers how art operates across stages of learning; from early creative development to academic-level inquiry, bridging this awareness into lesson planning, classroom engagement, and reflective teaching.
