Centerstance

Give a Warm Welcome tooo..Kayla! The new Centerstance Blogger.

 

To everyone who reads this wonderful blog, I say “Hello!”

My name is Kayla, and I am the summer intern at Centerstance.  This summer I have been working with the lovely Jenny Curtis, and because Jenny has been working sooo hard, I am happy to announce that I will be taking over the blog for a bit. Check for employee interviews, because I’m going to be having fun with those, and just keep an eye out in general for any fun little surprises on the blog. I also might post a couple more of these little updates, because I think they’re fun, and I’m a kind of uncoordinated, so I will probably be able to supply you with a some laughs.J Anyway, thanks for taking some time to read this! I can’t wait to get started with the blog.
