Favorite color: sapphire blue
Favorite food/drink: coffee, cheesecake, cookies
Hobbies: reading, spreadsheets (yes, I'm an Excel nerd!), continuing my education, spending time with my family & traveling
What do you hope your students learn from you? that they are loved and always have someone they can count on if they are in need, that learning involves mistakes and messing up (and that's ok!), that they are more than enough and should never think otherwise, and that I believe in them, even when they don't believe in themselves.
Luc is responsible for all the beautiful woodwork throughout our facility and always comes up with props, even for the toughest requests.  You can find him at the desk some days, that is when he isn't off traveling the world educating medical providers (and visiting studio alumni while he's at it!).  He loves to travel and enjoys being outdoors when he gets a spare moment.
