"Ali is a fun and effective educator with an uncanny ability to engage learners of all ages and levels through therapeutic arts expression. Through her impressive expertise with materials and techniques, as well as her playful and resourceful disposition, Ali can facilitate profound, positive, and transformative arts experiences for anyone regardless of ability or experience level. I feel lucky to have a teaching artist of her caliber involved in The Art Effect's Arts for Healing program."
