 Kristine Dizon: Hello, my name is Kristine Dizon and I'm the CEO and founder of The Modern Artist Project. Today, I'm with Stanford Thompson, a musician and educator who serves as the founder and executive director of Play on Philly and founding board chair of El Sistema USA and the National Instrumentalist Mentoring and Advancement Network. As a professional trumpeter, Stanford has performed as a soloist and member with major orchestras around the world and continues to perform throughout the Philadelphia region. Stanford is a native of Atlanta, Georgia, a graduate of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestras Talent Development Program, and holds degrees from the Curtis Institute of Music and the New England Conservatory Sistema fellows program. Thank you Stanford for joining us today.
Stanford Thompson: Thanks so much for having me.  When we are wanting to create a portfolio, we want to be creating something that highlights not only your accomplishments but also your personality. This is hard to do. Early on in my early career, I dreamt of teaching at a University, but at the same time being able to pursue my creative pursuits freely. It had always been a type of juggling act in being able to share the world my interests in academia, but also my creative pursuits. Look at some things you will want to consider when creating a portfolio that highlights these seemingly opposite aspects of what it means to be a hybrid academic and artist.
