This will be my fifth summer with the program and I love it! Working with young people has made my ability to individualize the needs if each person exceptional.

I grew up in Portland, Oregon and I absolutely love the outdoors, metro parks, animals, music, and arts & crafts....tons of crafts! (I carry around a box of craft materials in my car at all times, and kids know me for this). I also enjoy children's books, the library, board games, and trampolines.

I volunteered as an English teacher for 1st thru 6th grade students with WorldTeach while living abroad in Costa Rica for two years . I’m adventurous and tons of fun, but I don't forget to enforce rules, teamwork, sharing, respect for other kids, and cleanup .

If your kids are young, you will often find me on the floor playing and recalling what it was like to be that age.
