About me

Born and raised on the coast of South Texas, I grew up performing ballet, singing and acting, making art, and going to the beach. I attended Oklahoma City University where I earned a BFA in Acting with a minor in Directing, and spent a semester training at the National Theater Institute at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center. After graduating I moved to Brooklyn to continue pursuing performance and art making. I spend my time dancing, making visual and performance art, enjoying walks with my dog, and camping and hiking every chance I get!I love working with children because I am able to exercise my creative and problem solving skills while also learning more about the world around me through a child's perspective.

With the goal of eventually pursuing a masters in Art Therapy, I’ve spent the last few years taking courses in psychology and child development. I’m currently enrolled in a practitioner training program in the Feldenkrais Method- a somatic technique utilizing movement and neuroplasticity to improve one’s sense of self both physically and mentally.

I have cared for or taught children ages 6 months through High School. I have experience as a dance and theater teacher, camp counselor, literacy tutor, full time nanny and forest school teacher. Because of my interest in lifespan development, I find there is something exciting to discover and explore at every point in a child's life.

I prioritize listening and creativity as a way to connect, as I believe each child has unique needs and various ways of communicating. I believe every child deserves to be heard and seen. I feel lucky to work in such a fulfilling and inspiring field, and feel that all of my best qualities are put to use working in childcare.
