Georgina Huaste
Georgina Huaste came to the Music Academy of the West in March of 2012 after working with another local janitorial service company, and prior to that position worked at Subway for four years. Ms. Huaste arrived from Michoachan province in Mexico speaking very little English and she credits her time at the Academy for her improved communication skills. The Music Academy grounds remind Ms. Huaste of the city that she came from, full of lush trees and gardens. When she is not at the Academy she is a mom to “three crazy monkeys.”
