Ms. Shin is Founder and Director of Soyulla Artists, a performing arts program celebrating its 16th season this year. The concept of Soyulla Artists originated from her experiences while a student at The Juilliard School. Under a scholarship from Juilliard, she was able to spend time teaching children who would not otherwise have had an opportunity to study music. Through this program, she also performed for the elderly and those with terminal illnesses and mental illnesses. These experiences allowed Jae to witness the tremendous benefits and the healing power of music and the arts, and she has tirelessly pursued the goal of making the arts accessible to as many in her community as possible.
