I am a creative person who aspires to be a teacher (so I’m great at homework help), and have lots of experience in leadership roles.

In regards to experience I do VBS every year and am a Counselor in Training at Camp Oaks as well as many years of babysitting. Additionally I am currently enrolled in a Children’s Literature class which sets me down a pathway to learn more about being a teacher and do assistant teaching.
