was part of Trisha\u2019s position. Another example of this is when I asked Trisha what an average day in her position is like. The explanation of her job on her Linkedin was comprehensive in overarching content- but it didn\u2019t go into the specifics of what she does everyday. For example, the Linkedin post says that she manages the Embassy Adoption Program, manages the internship program, is the main point of contact for diplomatic recruitment and stewardship, and supports other initiatives of the education team. What it doesn\u2019t say about her job in this post is that she sits at her desk and answers emails for half of the day, every day, which is what we learned while talking to her directly.<\/p>\nMost of the information that Trisha gave us, however, was not a surprise to me, and the Washington Performing Arts website does generally do a very good job of explaining their programs and their mission.

hing that Trisha\u2019s talk did help me to understand about their company is how the work that they do ties into democracy- the overarching subject of this class. One thing that Trisha said during the presentation that ties directly into democracy is the fact that all of the education programs run by Washington Performing Arts are free for D.C public schools and Title I schools (schools with high majority low-income students). This is a big deal, because it denotes accessibility for all students to take part in the education programs run by the organization, not just those who can afford to attend.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/datadc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1405\/2022\/01\/download.jpg\")
ho is dedicated to working in the arts in some way but hasn\u2019t figured out the specifics of what that work might be yet. I\u2019ve always thought that\u00a0education would be my path, but as of late, due to the work in this class among other things, I don\u2019t know if that is necessarily the case. One thing I know that I want to be involved with in my career is a lot of arts events. I\u2019ve always loved attending the PMEA, NAfME, and ACDA conferences\/festivals, and every trip or conert that I do with choir is always incredible. I was delighted to hear when Trisha mentioned she helps out with concerts and events often, especially given the fact that her boss lets her have some time off if she has been working especially hard on one given weekend, or anything like that.<\/p>\n
