It is with great pleasure that I share with you my recommendation of Colleen Vandenberg as a passionate educator of the creative arts. Colleen goes above and beyond in her classes to ensure her students have the necessary equipment and the ability to get started exploring and learning the content with her patience and kindness, allowing them to learn at their own pace with positive encouragement. While collaborating with Colleen, I can always count on her to “show up” and offer her expertise to the discussion and brainstorm ideas to improve the student experience. Colleen is a delight to work with and is a dedicated and inspirational addition to any educational program for the arts.​​​​​​
