A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Kayrin (she/her) and I am a recent graduate from Lesley University. With my degree in Expressive Arts Therapy and multiple internship/work experiences working with youth, I believe I could be the perfect fit for your family! My work experience lies in the school system, where I provided direct social-emotional and behavioral support to youth ages 5-16. While in these roles, I fostered self-awareness, self-control, and positive peer relationships, along with providing students with healthy coping mechanisms. Additionally, I gained experience with crisis scenarios while in these roles, which taught me to keep a level head and how to safely de-escalate situations. I also am a former tutor, meaning I am able to provide academic support to promote your child’s learning. I look forward to connecting with you soon!
