Hello! My name is Jamie Ober. I am so excited to join this team as an Enrichment Teacher teaching Art! I am originally from Long Island, NY and moved to Virginia three years ago. I have been teaching for 13 years. I love teaching art and seeing students learn and create something new everyday! In my free time I love to go to the beach, take my mini-goldendoodle for long walks, and spend time with my family.
I began teaching photography as a requirement to complete the MFA Fellowship program at the University of Miami and discovered a genuine love for teaching. My approach has always been different from traditional thought; the most challenging part of learning art and photography is for people to find out what they're visually passionate about; from there, everything else can be learned.
The technique will develop if you have the desire to learn. With courses once offered in some of Miami's finest schools and collaborations with Panasonic, the Superbowl Entertainment Committee and several more, I am constantly exploring ways to expand creative opportunities and passion for the arts for you and your family.

Hello! My name is Martha Pugh. I’m excited to share one of my greatest passions with you, American Sign Language. I learned Sign Language over 35 years ago. I’ve been teaching introductory sign language classes for more than 25 years. I also work as an ASL interpreter. I’ll never forget my first ASL class and how excited I was to “talk with my hands”. It still brings me great joy to watch others have that same experience.
I’m a strong believer in learning languages from native users; however some people are intimidated by not being able to speak and ask questions in a class with a deaf instructor. One of my goals is to guide you through the introduction with the hope that you will pursue more sign language within the Deaf community in the future. I am a resident of Frederick County, Md.
My husband and I enjoy spending time with family and friends, hiking, snorkeling, playing cards, and watching movies.
