Meet Mariana Varela

Internship HighlightsMariana interns at Butterfly Your Nails under the supervision of Idalia Ramos.
What are your goals?"I am learning to paint on a small scale and use my non-dominant hand. This is important because I can paint small things with precision and detail and if for some reason can't use my dominant hand, I know how to use the other. It's important because I want to enter the art industry."
What have you learned?"I have been at Butterfly Your Nails all school year and have leaned may things about the nail industry and operating a business. Currently I am working on practicing doing my nails myself. The biggest challenge I've come across is painting with my left hand."

A huge thank you to Butterfly Your Nails and the Holyoke School District for allowing this partnership to happen and our students to learn and grow.
