A little bit about me

I am the fourth of 7 kids, have 10+ years of babysitting experience, 1 year of tutoring experience, and have spent 4 summers as a camp counselor, meaning I really enjoy working with kids in both academic and informal environments.

I’d describe my personality as cheerful, organized, and resourceful. In my spare time, I like to go on outdoor adventures with my friends and husband! I enjoy being in nature -- walking, hiking, camping, riding bikes, backpacking, picnicking, you name it! I also like to read, journal, and play board games.
