Sharon Recreation Department recently pegged some hometown talent as their newest assistant director.

Christine Kasparian, 28, started her new job last month and will use her background in performing arts to bring diversity to the programs offered by the department.

"I actually come from a pretty intensive educator's background. I've been educating through my performing arts studio called LiveLoveMusic Performing Arts and I would put together performing arts programs throughout New England," Kasparian said.

"So, I have a really strong background on how to be creative, but also how to be organized. So, putting those together created the perfect job here for me," she said.

Kasparian is a graduate of Bridgewater State University.

She also helped organize Sharon Middle School's recent production of "Oklahoma!"
