A little bit about me

I’m a recent Master of Architecture graduate and I also have a BA in Mathematics with a minor in English. I’ve loved working with children since I was young and babysat for a family friend three days a week from ages 12–18. I’m creative, responsible, and enjoy keeping kids engaged through crafts, games, and play. With my background in mathematics, English, and architecture, I can also use what I’ve learned to help encourage learning and creativity through play and activities. Outside of work, I love knitting, crocheting, sewing, board games, running, and hiking. I would be happy to bring a fun and caring presence to your family!
