Ms. Hurst is the Registrar, Class Coordinator and Resident Photographer for A.C.T. Studios. She is a valuable resource for A.C.T and is always ready to help students with the enrollment process.
You can see many of her great pictures on the A.C.T. website and in many of our publications. She knows how to frame and capture a moment and use photographs to help tell the A.C.T. story.
In what seems like an earlier lifetime, Ms. Hurst worked with a small private school for 20 years. Besides academics, the school did great and sometimes even took unusual “outings” (e.g., the adults were known for chasing bears, catching rattlesnakes, and taking a 50-mile backpacking trip in the High Sierras).
If you need a math tutor, she can do that too.
