Speaker and Advocate

“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint’, then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” Vincent Van Gogh

It is in that spirit that Judy prepares her programs, always thinking about how to motivate students to go deeper, learn more, and think critically. She speaks with clarity and authority on facing obstacles and as the child of alcoholic parents, she knows what it's like to overcome the impossible.
