I am an undergraduate student at Northern Illinois University studying music education. I enjoy having fun and building connections with children of all ages! Also, I am CPR/AED certified and skilled at being flexible, patient, and observant. I have experience working with kids as a camp counselor, an assistant at a percussion camp, and a bike instructor. During the summer, I am a counselor at Camp Kesem, a summer camp for children who are impacted by a parents' cancer diagnosis. As a camp counselor, I lead activities, constantly supervise, and engage with campers in education and play. Recently, I worked weekly as a bike instructor at Pedalheads. I taught many kids how to ride a bike without training wheels! I helped children reach this milestone by creating lesson plans, implementing games, and providing lots of feedback and encouragement.
