Cristin Terrill (she/her)
“I love working with students because it gives me the chance to let them in on the secrets I never knew when I was their age: you don’t have to be perfect at something the first time you try it, we’re all just making it up as we go along and doing our best, and you have something worth saying that can only come from you.”
