Who says back-to-school 'cool' is just for kids By Sherry Posnick-Goodwin Photos by Scott Buschman KEIL ANI CARR ASCO Travis Unified Teachers Association This math teacher at Vanden High School is 50 and fit. She enjoys being out- doors and spending time with her two grown sons and grandchildren. She is chair of the math department and also union representative for her school. Her "before" look "My go-to look is a ponytail. I would prefer to look a little more polished. I'm thinking that if teachers act and look more professional, we'll be treated as the professionals that we are." Her "after" look Her hair was a mix of hues from covering the gray, so coloring restored its natural brown luster. A cut with additional layering — plus a curling iron — added gentle waves and volume. A light foundation to match her sun-kissed skin tone, purple shadow and eyelash strips were the finishing touches, creating a bouncy look to match her personality. "I feel like when I was young and made time for myself." While Thalia Arroyo observes, Cheryl McDonald demonstrates technique on Keilani Carrasco. ? 49 A U G U S T / S E P T E M B E R 2 017 B E F O RE
