I began a year-long training program to become a Thinking Through Arts (TTA) coach for the education program at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. I would like to contribute to mentoring and coaching teachers in the Boston Public Schools. Engaging with the arts is similar to a Zen practice: it encourages you to "be in the moment.
