• Comfortable with pets

I like kids! They are creative and fun. I am very aware that they can be a pain sometimes, but I have learned some techniques to handle them. This last summer (2023) I have been working at the Museum of the Rockies (MOR) as a summer camp instructor. I just finished week 7. The 8th and final week begins next Monday. Throughout the summer I was involved with kids grades 1-8 (6-14 years of age although I am pretty sure there were a couple 5 year olds). Group sizes have been between 10 and 17. There was almost always two adults watching kids at all times. I could handle more all 17 kids for short periods of time, but it was a lot. 5 or less kids was pretty manageable for me by myself. We did lots of games, crafts, and a handful of lessons throughout the summer. I love Read more education. Whether it is kids or adults I love teaching others about subjects I am passionate about. When I am not working, I volunteer at the MOR doing the dino cart. I got my bachelor's degree at MSU just last May (2023). My major was Earth Science-Paleontology. I also got a minor in English-writing. I love to write and read. I am a big science fiction nerd. I love presenting science to others in a way they can understand. I love being outside in nature and i don't mind getting my hands dirty so long as I can clean up afterwards. I also don't mind sitting around watching a kid friendly movie, or just relaxing. I love board games and card games as well. I am also fairly patient, but not too afraid to put my foot down. I am also not a picky eater. I am also an Eagle Scout. I went from being a cub scout being taught by older scouts and adults to being the older scout and adult who taught. Our troop held a day camp for cub scouts during the summer. I did babysit someone who was somewhere between the age of 6-9 once. It was fun. I was in middle school or high school at the time.
