Art
Ms. Hopson
Hello, everyone! I'm Ms. Hopson, the art teacher at Sierra Verde STEAM Academy. In case you don’t know me, I was born and raised in Arizona (1997 babies!) and I’m also a Deer Valley alumni! From 3rd through 8th grade, I attended West Wing (where I also student-taught) and then Sandra Day O’Connor High School. After high school, I attended Glendale Community College for a bit before moving on to Arizona State University! In December of 2021, I graduated with my BFA in Art Education from ASU and got started right away in January of 2022 here at SV.
As for a little bit more about myself, I love all things art, but my main hobby is cosplay! Attending comic conventions, playing video games, reading comics, and watching movies and anime are all a big part of my life, and I love bonding with my students over those mutual interests. I believe that these shared passions have really helped me to create a positive and inclusive learning environment!
As of 2026, I also have a new summer job working at the Phoenix Herpetological Sanctuary! In my new picture you can see one of my friends from PHS, Gatorade, a juvenile American Alligator! One of my greatest passions in life is wildlife advocacy and conservation, and I am so grateful for the time I get to spend taking care of and spreading knowledge about conservation and our scaly friends :)
Lastly, my family! It is just me and my soon to be two kitties! I got my Aylin in January of 2024 and have a still un-named cat-son coming home SOON! Both were adopted from Halo Animal Rescue and they are my children <3
Thank you all for checking out my website!
