A personal note from Marie:
This has been a lifelong passion and journey for me – and it is foundational to who I am, and the passion that I have shared with my students for over 30 years.
Part of that journey for me, has included a diagnosis of Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, which happened not long after I started teaching. It has been an obstacle that I have had to look for ways to use it to my advantage – both for my students, and myself. Even though I am wheelchair-bound, I continue to show my students that you can do great things – regardless of challenges that come your way.
