My favorite type of art to create is meaningful, expressive work that reflects human connection and purpose. I am drawn to storytelling through visual design, classroom projects, and cultural themes that bring people together. My art is not about perfection, but about emotion, growth, and helping others see themselves and the world with more understanding and heart.

I find inspiration in real life, especially in people and their stories. My journey through different countries, cultures, and classrooms has shown me how similar we are despite our differences. I am inspired by my students, their growth, their struggles, and the small moments when they begin to believe in themselves. I also find inspiration in challenges, because they teach me resilience and purpose. Above all, I am inspired by the idea of turning toward the sun, focusing on values like compass

If I received $25,000, I would use it to support my PhD in Leadership and Innovation in Education. It would help cover tuition, research materials, and professional development, reducing financial stress so I can focus on my studies. As a teacher and parent, this support would allow me to balance family and academics while deepening my research in inclusive education, gifted learning, and technology integration to create more equitable and effective learning environments.
