My work with the Arts Academy is very rewarding. I love watching the developing talent of our ",""" learners that range in age from infant to senior citizen and all students in between. I am also fortunate to be able to work with the Conservatory's college students. Between both positions I have the unique pleasure of interacting with arts students of all ages.
