A little bit about me

I bring 10+ years of youth care and enrichment experience, including leadership and direct support in Outdoor School, summer camps, Boys & Girls Clubs, YMCA afterschool programs, public schools, youth arts, and Special Education settings.

I focus on individualized, strengths-based care—especially for children with autism and other neurodivergent needs—using observation, consistency, and empathy to support each child’s growth. I believe learning and development are most meaningful when guided by a child’s interests, curiosity, and pace.

Fun and play are also at the core of my work with kids! I love to act silly, play characters, sing songs, act out scenes, read aloud in character voices, and anything else that helps to positively engage.

I aim to be a steady, positive male role model, creating a safe, encouraging environment where kids feel seen, respected, and empowered to be themselves.
