I am a married, MSW Columbia grad student living in the UWS and I love being with children! I have worked and volunteered as a camp counselor, choir director, preschool teacher and director, mentor, tutor, youth group leader and more for over 10 years. I am trained in Early Childhood Education, as well as development, counseling, social work with children and families, and mental health as a third year MSW student. I am certified in First Aid, CPR, and Family Engagement through my work with Head Start. I value honesty, empathy, humility, affirming each child in who they've been made to be, and guiding kids to learn and grow through play and hands-on exploration.
