QAIS Staff Profile of the Week - Devin Smith, Art Teacher

What is the strangest job you’ve every had?

When I was in college, I had a lot of odd jobs prior to working as an art teacher. I waitressed, was a barista, cleaned swimming pools, worked at a video game and book store, and taught at a rock climbing gym. My favorite job, however, was working for a concessionaire in Yosemite National Park in California for two summers in a row. I was able to live in a tent and hike everyday in the most beautiful place I’ve ever visited.

Would you rather attend school at Hogwarts or visit Narnia?

Hogwarts all the way. I’m still waiting on an owl to drop off my invitation letter. At this point, I may be the oldest student at the school, but I’m confident that my magical skills would outweigh any potential negative impact that my age might have.
