Shanti joined the School of Music & Theater in 2021. Her first career was in high school teaching and administration, so she is excited to be working with students and instructors in the next stage of education, especially in a public education setting. From infancy on, music, theater and many types of art have been an important part of Shanti's life. She has seen the power of art to create positive change in communities and the lives of individuals, and she is thrilled to be able to use her skills to promote the School of Music & Theater and to help the arts thrive in our community. Shanti enjoys dancing, being in nature, podcasts, working for social justice, and creativity in its many forms.
