Hi I’m Brooklyn! I am 20 years old from Salt Lake City Utah but moved to Illinois looking for a change. I currently work at the Boys and Girls Club with students in 2nd and 3rd grade after school. Getting to know each individual child and all their colorful personalities and bright minds has made a difference in my life. I grew up in a big family always helping family with babysitting just overall support. and Besides my work I love practicing my hobbies. Music is a big passion of mine I play the electric bass and I also practiced classical music for 5 years. I enjoy being outdoors as often as possible, Hiking is a favorite activity of mine outdoors. I love spending time with animals and my close friends. I love a good adventure and love to laugh. Overall I’m looking for a new experience and change in what I do for work. I want to work towards saving for college in order to earn my Doctorate Degree. I have big dreams for my future and can’t wait. Thank you!
