Visual Arts Teaching InternHi, my name is Kelsey Rogers, and I am currently a senior at Watersmeet Township School. I am an aspiring artist with a strong passion for creativity and education. I believe art has the power to open perspectives and connect people of all ages through self-expression. I am dedicated to encouraging others to explore their creativity, take risks, and grow through the artistic process. This fall, I will attend Northern Michigan University to pursue a degree in Art Education, where I hope to inspire, guide, and support future generations of artists.
