I am an Athol native and am invested in supporting the North Quabbin community in any way that I can through my art. I was asked to speak at the Athol Junior Hight School Friday June 7th to a group a students in the club. I’m nervous yet excited to speak in front of a group of young local kids who have an interest in the creative world. The club aims to teach values I strongly believe in: empathy for others, standing up to bullying, kindness, tolerance, and being helpful.
