I was a preschool teacher for almost a decade and have a degree in Human Development & Family Sciences. I especially love working with infants and young children and used to teach art classes/camps to preschoolers! I've also worked at Woodland Park Zoo as a camp teacher so I know plenty of animal facts! I'm also able and have experience working with kids with disabilities and mental health concerns.
