A little bit about me

I am a recent college graduate from the University of Florida where I studied Biology and Economics. I have strong experience nannying children in the infant through early childhood ages, and have done various volunteering positions with children with special needs. I grew up primarily homeschooled, was a Capitol tour guide at age 10, studied abroad at London School of Economics, worked in an Emergency Room in Tanzania, and spent a large proportion of my undergraduate experience as a teaching assistant in physics, macro & microeconomics, general chemistry, and organic chemistry. I love learning and believe that the cultivation of curious in children is vital for their long-term wellbeing and success. I'm passionate about nutrition and exercise, and have worked for a health food company and been a longtime distance runner. My exposure to clinical medicine has solidified my belief in the importance of health habits from a young age. I enjoy playing guitar, reading, and cooking.
