Next up in our meet the team series is Michael!!
Michael works the front desk and can often be seen skating around the annex 🛹 He’s been working here for 2 years and will be graduating this semester with a degree in computer science! Michael hopes that in the future, the Arts Annex will be “an even more wide-scoping space! Whenever people ask me what art I do, skating is my first answer, because it is my form of art.”
