Meet Our Faculty and Staff

Shauna Mingus
I love teaching for NorthStar Academy because of the special opportunity to get to know my students around the world!
The rich cultures and experiences that our students bring to class are fascinating, and I enjoy learning about students just as much as I enjoy teaching them. I can’t wait to help you in your study of French, culinary arts, or watercolor painting!
