Palmetto Palette

I spent two years subbing, teaching, working at before-and-after-school programs, summer school, and working at summer camps in the Buffalo area. I obtained a full-time position at a public elementary in 2014 in Rural South Carolina. I taught Art to student artists from Kindergarten to 5th grade. I then spent one year teaching at a middle school on Columbia, SC before ultimately deciding to return to elementary. Now, I'm teaching Art part-time at a public charter school in Columbia, and using my remaining time to build my business - Palmetto Palette.
