Before she was inspiring middle schoolers to love math, South Hills Middle School teacher Karen Smith was performing on stages alongside iconic artists like Stevie Wonder, Yo-Yo Ma, and John Williams.
On this episode of the Supercast, we sit down with Ms. Smith to explore her incredible transition from freelance cellist to dedicated educator. Hear how she traded life onstage for a second career in Jordan School District and learn how her unique journey helped her find a passion for teaching math that runs as deep as her love for music.
You can catch Karen Smith play with the Sinfonia of Salt Lake on Sept. 14. Find more information on the Sinfonia Salt Lake website.
