Helping students to fight for their future is my passion. Unfortunately, my students have to battle more than most. They battle hunger, homelessness, neglect and lack of a stable family structure. For these students school and teachers provide that structure. Sometimes we as teachers are the only ones in the corner of that child and usually that is just not enough. Teachers need support and students need dreams. In 2014 I started an FX art program that would focus on skills that a student could take right from high school and get a job. Sometimes, college is not a path every child will or can take. Providing opportunities to build job ready skills and nurture talent in a high school art setting can help students find work after high school or scholarships for college. This program has gone from 18 students to now over 70 - with 3 in college pursuing a career in Movie Makeup and creature design. Amazing!
