A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Tiffani. I am a born and raised Mainer now living in the Portland area. I have always loved working with kids and had an immense passion for education. I am currently a Museum Educator at the Portland Museum of Art and have been an Older Toddler teacher for over a year. I love the opportunity to work one-on-one or with groups of youth to create fun, educational experiences.
With younger twin sisters, I began babysitting in my teen years and did lots of youth engagement work in college. Before diving into education and childcare in my adulthood, I attended Clark University and received my degree in International Development and Peace Studies. After graduating and moving to Portland, I worked in communications and administrative management at local non-profits. My passions for education pulled me in this new yet familiar direction. Outside of work, I love reading, cooking, watching movies, drawing, and making art with oil pastels!

A little bit about me
I love spending my time doing things that bring comfort, creativity, and connection. Baking and cooking are some of my favorite ways to unwind and express myself—there’s something so satisfying about creating something delicious from scratch. I also enjoy getting lost in a good book or diving into my own writing, whether it’s journaling, storytelling, or simply capturing a moment. Museums, cozy coffee shops, and new restaurants are some of my favorite places to explore; I love discovering new flavors and ideas. I share my home with my two black cats, Remy and Juno, who add a lot of charm and mischief to my days. When I really want to feel at peace, I go swimming or spend time by the ocean—there’s nothing like the sound of waves to reset everything.
