Hi, my name is Elliot Philly

0:03

and I have been doing art since I was in middle school, um,

0:08

around 2012, which is crazy.

0:10

Um, for me, art has been a way for me

0:15

to express my feelings even if I couldn't

0:17

verbalize it to people.

0:18

So if I can help someone progress their skill

0:24

and also, um, be able to use art

0:29

as a kind of coping mechanism

0:31

or as a release, um, that would be wonderful.

0:34

I've worked with children also since I was in high school.

0:38

I went to a vocational technical high school

0:41

where I learned early childhood education.

0:44

And so after doing co-op my senior year,

0:48

which is I worked instead of went

0:51

to school on my shop weeks

0:53

where I was in early childhood education.

0:55

I have my teaching certificate for infant, toddler

0:59

and preschool classrooms.

1:00

Um, I also have been working with elementary, middle school,

1:05

young adults, uh, since I had gotten out of high school.

1:09

I worked at multiple summer camps

1:13

with varying different ages, um, summer camp with people

1:17

with disabilities, uh, public summer camp.

1:20

Um, so I have worked with various different peoples,

1:26

uh, from various walks of life, various abilities.

1:29

Um, so I'll be here

1:35
