Instructor of the Month! July 2014


Graciela Olivarez has been a member of our Continuing Education family for over a year and is an amazing asset to our team! She teaches a variety of adult and kids classes from painting, to sketching, mosaics and more.
We asked Graciela a few quick questions to get to know her better:

What is your favorite part about teaching? The gratification I receive when I see my students accomplish a task they thought they could not do.

What would you name the autobiography of your life? Persistence

What’s the #1 most played song on your iPod? “All of Me” by John Legend

What’s your current favorite TV show/Movie? Grey’s Anatomy

When you have 30 minutes of free-time, how do you pass the time? I sit down relax and watch TV.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you choose? Wonder Woman


What advice do you have for new instructors of Continuing Education? Come with a positive attitude and give it all you have.
