I am an artist-teacher working in adult community learning and have an interest in teacher identity. My work often uses visuals to help people reflect on their identity, whether it's on a Likert scale between two points or with a digital collage. Key themes throughout my work are community and peer learning, and I enjoy bringing people together to share in creativity.
