The staff at Sunset Sudbury believe that all people are curious by nature, that the most efficient, long-lasting, and profound learning takes place when started and pursued by the learner, and that all people are creative if they are allowed to develop their unique talents.
Michelle Beasley-Hunt is mom to a 14-year-old daughter and step-mom to a 21-year-old son. Michelle’s work has always been in the arts. Her experiences include 10 years of work in film production as well as work creating 2-D and 3-D computer animation. She later combined her love of the arts and the joy she found in teaching to become a certified K-12 art teacher. Once Michelle learned of the Sudbury model there was no turning back! Michelle is excited to be a staff member at Sunset Sudbury. She is also delighted that her daughter is free to learn what she wants and how she wants in a supportive community of her peers.
