About me

I grew up in northern California, the oldest of three sisters - some of my favorite childhood memories are exploring redwood forests and nearby beaches. As a kid, I did ballet, soccer, and swimming, and I threw myself at any opportunity to be onstage. Eventually, I received my BFA in Acting from UC Santa Barbara and an MFA in Contemporary Performance at Naropa University. After graduation, I moved to NYC to pursue acting and playwriting, and here I am!

My mom is a kindergarten teacher, and I spent a lot of time in her classroom growing up - I also helped my little sisters and cousins from an early age, so working in childcare and kids' creative programs always felt like a natural leap. I've been babysitting since my teens and started nannying in about 2014. Since then, I've worked with kids of all ages! I have a lot of experience with infants and toddlers, and I've also supported kids with special needs like ADHD and autism. I know a touch of baby sign language, and I can sing and read simple books in French and Spanish. I've also provided swimming instruction, worked at several day camps, and served as a teaching artist for various performing arts programs.

Feeling safe, cared for, and embraced as you are in childhood is so fundamental to a lifelong sense of comfort and well-being, and I choose my words and actions thoughtfully with that long-term responsibility in mind. I've really valued the relationships I've built over my years in childcare, and I'm so looking forward to meeting new families!
