While searching for a design job after graduation, I started substitute teaching for Akron Public Schools. This position revealed a love for teaching that I didn’t know I had. I loved being a sub and interacting with students, particularly on days when I had the opportunity to incorporate art into the lesson plans. My design experience and new found love of teaching made me very excited to hear about the open Graphic Design Educator position at CVCA. I never pictured myself as a high school teacher, but I honestly couldn’t love it more.
