About me

While I live in Brooklyn now, I am originally from Charlotte, NC. At a very young age, I fell in love with the beauty of theatre and the arts, leading me to my BFA in Drama Performance at Hofstra University (2023). At Hofstra, I was the President of the drama fraternity Alpha Psi Omega, President of the Women’s and Gender Inclusive Ultimate Frisbee Team, an Honors College Member, and an employee in the Drama Department Scene Shop.

I have always loved spending time with children younger than me. I have been babysitting and working with children since I was 11 years old. Throughout the last 10 years, I have babysat kids of all ages (5 months to 12 years). In these positions, I would ensure the safety of the children, prepare food for them, put them down for naps or for the night, find ways to play creatively, and communicate with their caregivers.
In 2019, I worked as a preschool camp counselor at the Charlotte Jewish Preschool summer camp, Camp Katan. I cared for and supported different groups of kids ranging from ages 2 to 4. I would set up and break down activities, ensure spaces were safe, change and feed kids, and walk them to their different locations.
In 2022 I worked at Camp Wa-Klo (Dublin, New Hampshire) as a theatre counselor, and then returned in 2023 as the Head of Arts. Each summer, I worked with ages 7-17 on 4 different theatrical productions as well as lived with 2 different groups of campers within 7 weeks. In my time there I ensured the safety and happiness of all campers as well as I was there to ensure the safety and happiness of the campers I lived with, as well as enrich the camp experience of all campers whether I was teaching them or not. This job taught me the importance of conflict resolution, validation of a child's identity, and being an energetic and compassionate role model.

I love befriending kids and validating their hopes, ideas, and emotions. My favorite thing to do with kids is finding engaging ways for them to play or experience the world. If you want someone who is passionate about adventurous experiences for your child: I am the one for you.
