About me
I am a young creative professional who is brand new to the city! I am originally from Cleveland, Ohio and recently received my Master's degree in Acting! I have taught theater arts to children grades 3 through 12 and also have experience caring for toddlers (1-4 years old) and infants as young as 3 months old. I bring energy and creativity to everything I do! I am musically inclined and love to make up songs and dances. I am extremely passionate about education and making learning fun. In play time I try to incorporate subjects such as reading and mathematics. I also value and encourage social skills such as patience through sharing and compassion through make-believe. With me, safety is number one priority and children are welcome and encouraged to express themselves.
In the past few years, I have had a wide range of professional experiences with children of varying ages. I have taught theater arts to students from grades 3 through 12 and worked in the Cleveland public school system as a substitute teacher. I have also been employed as a private caregiver for several families with toddlers ages 1-3 years old.
I often have had to exercise adaptability with children. I can make English homework cool for a 7th grader and also find a way for a 2-year-old to eat her veggies. I am young, energetic, and able to adapt to changing fast-paced environments. Safety is always number one priority!

In 5 years, I hope to be...
I would love to eventually work in arts education and community outreach. I would love to combine my passions of theater and music into working with both children and the elderly.
Activities & skills I love to teach & share with children...
I love reading, playing hide and seek, singing and playing instruments, going out for walks, crafts and coloring, any kind of pretend or make-believe.
