While earning her Bachelor’s and then her Master’s degrees, Ms. Lee continued to compete and perform. During her college years, she was awarded First Prize in the Pasadena Fine Arts Club Competition and was a semi-finalist in the Royal Over-Seas League Competition in London.

After leaving USC, Ms. Lee spent time teaching or playing at Malone, Mount Union College, Kent State University, and the College of Wooster.
