A little bit about me
I have been working with children for about five years now in camp settings. I graduated from the University of Maine in Spring 2025 with a Bachelor’s of Arts in Anthropology. In the fall, I drove across the country to work at an environmental education camp, where I teach children about the outdoors through hands-on lessons and integration in the outdoors. Aside from my professional life, I enjoy being outdoors; whether it’s kayaking, hiking, or laying in my hammock reading. I also love to spend my time doing crafts, especially sewing and crocheting!
