About me

I approach working with children with a collaborative and fun spirit. It started when I was 13 and an instructor at a sailing camp - I was small enough to climb into the one-person boats with the seven and eight-year-olds, and keep them calm, safe, and having fun while also teaching them to sail. I loved my childhood - my parents are both visual artists who moved from NYC to CT to have kids, so I was exposed to all the culture NYC had on frequent trips into the city while living in a calm and slow town in an art-filled renovated house, full of projects and creative energy.

I always have worked with children continuously in one capacity or another; early childhood curriculum developer, dance teacher, acting teacher, birthday party host, babysitter, volunteer instructor, and travel nanny are some of the titles I have held.

I am now a working actor in film, TV, and theater and freelance casting associate for documentary films. I continue to babysit in my spare time because it brings me a lot of joy - I enjoy having conversations with the kids I work with (kids are SO smart!) just as much as I enjoy diving into imagination games. I am confident in my ability to mediate and help children work through problems, and love teaching kids new things - whether it be a silly joke, the meaning behind something, a new vocab word, or a hilarious game they can show to their friends.
