A little bit about me

Hello! I’m an artist living in Portland. I am currently in school studying Somatics at the Contemporary Alexander School, which has among many things been a gentle reminder of how I can be more radically present in my life. I’m working towards being community oriented everyday. Nature is a huge inspiration for me, it invites so much exploration into my world. My long term goal in studying is to eventually work with people of all ages. Children especially! That being said, I’ve had a huge desire to expand my knowledge around communicating and crafting supportive and safe dynamics, all while maintaining a sense of playfulness. My approach to caring for children includes much of that. Listening, compassion and curiosity. I enjoy exploring creative ways to form activities. I’m passionate about finding ways to support children in leaning into their imagination and creating a learning environment. Looking forward to connecting!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

In 2017 I assisted as art director at the Boys & Girls club of Salem, OR. It was a fun challenge in working with how to respond to children’s needs and creativity.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Being active either inside or outside. Exploring nature. Making art together, drawing, paper mache, paper planes, bracelet making, etc. Most of the time it’s tuning into what kinds of games/activities a child already likes to play and flowing from there. Games that involve building. Reading books out loud, in a fun and interactive way. Dancing.
