After graduating with my education degrees, I opened the Westland Academy for the Arts, a small facility that offered private lessons and small group classes in creative writing, fine art, and a variety of musical instruments, offered by various staff. After many years of operation, I began teaching additional private lessons at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ. I was so impressed by the capacity and programs here that, after much consideration, I closed my studio and transferred my students to ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ.
