Education is genuinely and passionately part of who I am as a person. Having my life immersed in education for a decade has been a major factor in that experience. The opportunity to grow with, be pushed by and learn from some of the most dedicated educators and most teachable students on the planet is why I am here. I believe that culture done the right way, with the right motives and the right people, is one of the most rare and epic experiences to be a part of in life and we have that in spades at Utah Arts Academy.
