About Us

In December 2015, Sandy and Daughter Anisa Short started this business along with Ina Short, Sandy youngest sibling, who is no longer with us. She continues to operate the academy in Ina’s honor.
Additionally, we developed a nonprofit organization, The Learning Station Academy, which is geared towards mentoring aged-out children by assisting them on their journey towards career development .
