Thayre Faust serves as Project Manager for MYSO’s Violins of Hope-Greater Milwaukee Residency program. This role allows her to combine her passion for the arts with her project management expertise, creating meaningful connections and educational experiences through music.

Thayre is a dynamic and compassionate individual driven by a deep desire to make a positive impact on her community. Following a 30-year career in IT, a personal tragedy prompted Thayre to embark on a new path dedicated to mental health advocacy and community engagement.

Thayre’s journey led her to establish V.A.S.T. Possibilities, a life coaching business where she empowers individuals to overcome challenges and realize their full potential. Her commitment to mental wellness extends to her volunteer work with various organizations, where she strives to reduce the stigma surrounding depression, prevent suicide, and promote open conversations about mental health.

Thayre’s dedication to fostering hope, resilience, and community engagement shines through in all aspects of her life. Her story is one of transformation and purpose, inspiring others to embrace their own journeys of self-discovery and service to others. She is enthusiastic about learning more about the history of these Violins of Hope instruments and the prospect of contributing to such a meaningful undertaking.
