“The arts embody humanity. We cannot exist as fully developed people without art and the performing arts. This is where I found my "people" and I felt success. I was barely an average student and definitely not an athlete but I belonged in choir, orchestra and theatre. Belonging somewhere is integral to education. I have not one, but two successful careers in the arts and I owe it to where I began at JMM.”
