Conversation with Shalon Edwards

A biology major and health researcher who switched careers midlife to interior design was our “Conversation with…” guest today.  Shalon Edwards came into the school with Beth Pointer as part of the monthly Done Construction seminar.  Shalon shared her educational and career journey and the joy in following your passions and importance of doing work that fulfills you. She also talked about the many skills involved and careers available in interior decorating.

Shalon shared her first project in woodworking where she made a beautiful inlaid box all made from wood that resembles a gift package.

This was an interesting conversation and we thank Shalon for sharing her time with us and to Beth and the women at Done for constantly expanding our knowledge and exposure!

Parent of TCS Student Kendall and CEO of nonprofit organization ONE More..ONE Less Mentoring was our Conversation guest today. Minister Brian spoke about his life growing up in Baltimore and his many challenges with twists and turns along the way. He talked about overcoming mistakes as a youth and severe health challenges to his present work mentoring young people from tough circumstances and exposing them to the environment and natural world. He runs an organization that takes young people out on the water to study and research the environment as well as learning how to fish and supply this food to their families. The Conversation was full of life lessons illustrated by overcoming challenges and seizing opportunities.
