ABOUT ME: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
BACKGROUND: My name is Maya Martin Bugg and I am originally from Philadelphia (where most of my wonderful family resides). I moved to Durham with my beautiful husband who is currently completing a PhD program at Duke University. I am now teaching 8th Grade Language Arts at the Durham School of the Arts. DSA is an excellent fit for me since, in addition to being a teacher, I am a visual artist. I enjoy oil painting, water colors, charcoal sketching, sculpting, photography, and even clay-wheel throwing. EDUCATION & HONORS: I received my B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania where I majored in English and minored in African American Literature and Latino Studies. I graduated Magna Cum Laude and assisted in the operation of an independent African-centered Saturday Academy called ASE. I currently serve on the Executive Board of Directors for this organization. I also received my Masters of Education: Teaching & Curriculum from Harvard University where I graduated with top honors. It is here that I met 2 friends/ colleagues with whom I co-developed the UPLIFTNow organization. I have recently been selected as a U.S. Department of Education National Teacher Ambassador Fellow. LANGUAGES & TRAVELS: I have studied Spanish for over 8 years. I also studied abroad in the Dominican Republic where I taught ESL and researched Afro-Caribbean Literature & Cultures. I have also traveled to Morocco, Southern Spain, Jamaica, Barbados, Anguilla, St. Martin, St. Maarten, St. Barth's and had a brief stay in Belgium. Domestically, I have traveled throughout the southern, mid-atlantic, and northern states. MY PASSIONS: Visual Arts Photography Creative Writing Teaching Community Empowerment |
