Rapid Fire
What could you give a 10-minute talk on with zero prep?
Chinese Art.
What did you want to be at 15, and how close did you get?
A teacher and I am one now!
What do you say to a student who tells you they’re not creative?
I always help them redefine what creativity actually means. I tell them creativity isn’t just about painting or music, it’s about problem-solving and unique perspectives. Then, I guide them to look back at their own lives and uncover everyday examples of creative thinking they didn’t even realize they had.
