Jennifer and Emily Wilkerson
This July Jennifer will be taking her daughter to a NYSSSA School in Ferdonia—just like her parents took her there 30 years ago. During Jennifer's first summer at a NYSSSA School she was identified by Jim Ridlon as an artist. This experience 30 years ago solidified her life in the arts—her vocation and avocation. Her daughter will be a student at the School of Choral Studies this year. This experience has been a special treat for the both of them to share and Jennifer can't help but imagine where this experience will take her daughter!
