Described as a “Jackie-of-all-trades”, I have primarily worked as a Special Education teacher, summer camp counselor and Program Director, and most recently, an English teacher in Madrid, Spain. I am passionate about working with kids and put my enthusiasm and creativity into all that I do. Having worked with infants-teens as well as young adults with disabilities, I value communication and organization while maintaining flexibility and an ability to be thrown into any situation, ensuring safety and empathy along the way. I have been a nanny (including providing transportation), traveled with families, done infant care, provided weekly/occasional babysitting, given tutoring classes, stayed with a child alone for more than a week, been a companion to a peer with a disability, taught in a variety of special education classes, coached high school volleyball and adaptive sports, served as a lifeguard (CPR/First Aid certified), and acted as both cabin counselor/Program Director of Read more a camp for 8 years. A few more things about me: I graduated from the University of Alabama, I have traveled to 36 countries, I have my Irish passport, I ran the Madrid marathon, and I’m a background extra on the tv series Chicago Med/PD.
