Art Camp
Roma’s commitment to facilitating student-centered learning environments is rooted in the art camp that she started at age 14. She has continued to run this camp each year, teaching art to students ages five to 16 through personalized assignments that accommodate diverse learning styles.
Testimonies from Parents:
“Your art class is a highlight of my daughter’s summers. Thanks for being a mentor and supporter of her love for art” - Susanne
“Roma’s art camp is hands-down my son’s favorite camp. Roma is the reason. Each time he goes, he experiments with new materials and makes a variety of pieces. My 14-year-old son has been in Roma’s camp since age 9 and it’s still something new and wonderful each summer.” - Catherine
“This is a perfect neighborhood camp: substantive enough to support our son’s love of art, but relaxed enough to let kids be kids with other kids. We make our vacation plans around it.” - Jon
Hammer Museum
More recently, as a Student Educator at the Hammer Museum, Roma has received professional development trainings that allowed her to further refine her pedagogy and apply it to all age groups. In her conversation-based exhibition tours, she communicates clear learning objectives while encouraging students to lead the learning process.
