About Risa

Hi! My name is Risa, I'm 28, and I am living in North Druid Hills! I recently received my MAT in Art Education from Georgia State University, where I student-taught PK-5th grade art classes at Laurel Ridge Elementary for 3 months. Since I made my career change in 2020, I have gained invaluable experience with children aged 2. 5-14 through my employment with Primrose of Brookhaven as a Preschool Teacher as well as through my time with Cowart YMCA both as a Speciality Afterschool Counselor and as an Art Summer Camp Counselor. I enjoy guiding children through daily activities and encouraging their critical thinking skills, their social-emotional learning skills, as well as their physical development. I love to laugh and fully understand the importance of play-based learning. I am confident that I could bring a creative and flexible approach to any environment!
