Denise Kubica TakeLessons Team Member The Art of Smiling San Diego, CA

Hi there! I am stoked to be your Student Counselor at TakeLessons.com!  I'm here to introduce you to the program and make things easy to start living your dream!

Born and raised in Michigan, I recently moved to San Diego - and believe me, I am loving the perfection that is San Diego weather!  Before coming here, I spent a few months living and studying in the south of France, finishing up my Bachelors Degree in French from the University of Michigan.

Some of my favorite things include smiles, flip flops, and the color red. When I'm not working, I like to play games - console, card, board, you name it - read, act in community theater, and play the piano. I also just started taking guitar lessons. I live for learning, whether it's a new language, a new instrument, or even a new shortcut to save on gas.  There is no better feeling than when that little light bulb turns on above your head! :)

What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing.  ~Aristotle, Greek philosopher

Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can - there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did.  ~Sarah Caldwell, opera conductor

The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as long as we live.  ~Mortimer Adler, American Aristotelian philosopher

While we teach, we learn.  ~Seneca, Roman philosopher
