Hello! I’m Ryan Hopper, a passionate and entrepreneurial Art Education major who loves teaching, making, and helping others discover their creativity. I thrive in both distance-learning and classroom settings and pride myself on adapting to whatever challenge comes my way.
Outside teaching, I run Hopper Gallery with a mission of Happiness Through Art, and I enjoy creating, curating, and sharing art that connects people. I’m excited to bring energy, collaboration, and practical problem-solving to new opportunities in education, design, and community engagement.
