I currently work at Northwestern University as a Project Coordinator. I love all things fitness (running, volleyball, hiking, weight lifting, etc.). I am originally from Iowa, and I recently moved to the area. I love being creative and meeting new people, as well as exploring what life has to offer. I received my Master of Arts in Higher Education & Student Affairs from The University of Iowa, where I worked as a Substance Abuse Counselor before landing my current job at Northwestern University. I have three beautiful nieces, and a nephew on the way. Even though I'm not a mom myself, being "Aunt Beff" has changed my life in so many different ways. I might not get to see my nieces as often as I would like, but when we are together I make sure I spoil them. I've become a master at playing Shopkins, as well as breaking out Read more in random dance parties. My nieces keep me young, and I aspire to teach them life lessons just as much as they have taught me. They are so loving, and they remind me that it's the simple things in life like a "I miss you" that really matter most in life. I don't have "official" training as a babysitter, but I have accumulated many life experiences in working with young children that make me more than qualified. I've watched my nieces (they are currently 5, 6, and 7) throughout their lifespan. I also coached club volleyball for middle school/high school girls over the span of multiple years. I also babysat for family friends throughout my entire life. I had multiple part-time babysitting jobs throughout my college summers. Even though my nieces and family are miles away from Illinois, babysitting continues to allow me to be "Aunt Beff" for a different family.
