Ian Frazier Ostrander, PhD

Hello! I am a research academic and organizational manager that has spent the past twelve years building up a skill set of research and process-focused systems. Taking these skills and directing them towards my community – I work with the Pro-Art Association to bring arts access to my home in Appalachian Virginia. Through grant-writing and quality focus, my goal is to bring arts education into the region as well and compliment the arts access with a study to measure the psychological effects of arts education on quality of life.
