A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Madis, and I'm from Southern California. I recently graduated with a BA in Environmental Studies from Kenyon College in Ohio. I spent my summer leading highschoolers on backpacking trips in Alaska, and am spending my winter here in Whitefish as a Lift Operator! Throughout my undergrad, I held several environmental education positions, encouraging curiosity in children of all ages by engaging them with the natural world. I hold curiosity and exploration as guiding principles for the time I spend with children. I am an avid skier, hiker, crafter, ponderer, snow fort architect, chef, baker, organizer, equestrian, knot aficionado and doodler. I absolutely love hanging out with kiddos, and would love to meet yours!

I am available after 5pm every day and am happy to stay late for date nights etc. I also have 2 days of/wk where I can work all day, I get a detailed schedule 2 weeks out.
