New AmeriCorps Teacher: An introduction

Hi, I'm Donte! As a new Brashears Kids after school teacher I am excited to get the school year started! I hope to bring a variety of creative assets to the team and hope to gain a lot myself. This will be my third term serving as an Americorps member and I'm eager to see what's next. I recently graduated college with a Bachelor's in Fine Arts for Visual Effects and Animation, and would love to bring that experience to the team! I also have an extensive background working in this field with youth of all ages in varying programs from Baseball and Cheer-leading camps to Culinary and Academics camps. Some of my hobbies and interests include animations, films, gaming, drawing, writing, photography, and almost anything involving the use of creativity and the arts!

A few things about me, I love to have fun and I love to laugh! While it is important to me that there is a good structural flow to a working environment, I find it imperative that there is also a level of comfortability with each other where no individual needs to feel unwelcome or left out. Therefore, I try my best to be friendly and I strive to be as inclusive as possible. I look forward to my year here at Brashears and I just know it'll be great!
