Welcome!
I am very excited to welcome all of you to my classroom during the 2017-2018 school year! This is my sixth year at NHS and I am looking forward to seeing many familiar faces as well getting to know some new ones! I am excited to see the artwork you'll create. This school year my husband and I welcomed our first child, Maya Zi Wai Wong, into the world! Maya was born 5 weeks early on October 14, 2017. She was 5lbs, 4oz and 18" long! While tiny, she's been doing amazing and growing like a weed!
Before coming to NHS I spent many years studying art and working in the non-profit sector. I graduated from Rhode Island College with a dual degree Bachelor's in Art History and Film Studies with a minor in Studio Art. I then went on to receive my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fine Arts (Painting and Printmaking) from the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University (now named the Lesley College of Art and Design). After working at a non-profit arts organization for a few years I decided to go after the dream I had since a young child - to be an art educator. For me, the art room was always a place I felt the most comfortable. I was able to be creative and express myself in ways that were interesting and exciting to me. Art was always my favorite subject and I really wanted to instill that appreciation in many other generations of kids. I received my Master of Arts in Teaching, Art Education from Tufts University in partnership with The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (SMFA). Before starting my first year at NHS, I spent the summer teaching 7 - 14 year olds in the Summer Studio Sessions at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA). Being an educator has been an incredible journey and one of the best jobs I have ever had. I love seeing the work my students make and building relationships with them and seeing them grow as artists. Currently, I am ACA certified in Photoshop CS6, Illustrator CC 2015 and InDesign CC 2015.
