I loved teaching. There is nothing more rewarding than leading students to the next phase of their lives.

Who they think they are and who they then become … I have had an amazing opportunity to teach, incredibly talented individuals at the community college, whether they liked me or not, even during the swine flu pandemic, to move on and become the artist they were meant to be.

Life is hard and so should be your academic curriculum because there is a lot of talented competition out in the world. You will fail, but you will also find your success.
