Hello!
I've spent the last 15 years of my life working and volunteering in Youth Informal Education settings whether they be after-school programs, scouting organizations, summer camps or children's museums.
There is no better feeling than watching a child tap into their curiosity and see the magic in the world around them.
Currently my goal is to become a Full-Time Summer Camp Staff, and while I excel in axe throwing, fire building, archery, canoeing, arts and crafts, and more, I'm glad my graduate programs in Public Affairs and Information Studies have given me deeper skills.
These include a greater understanding of how children learn, how to get a community involved, and the issues kids and their communities face outside of camp and youth informal education organizations.
I've been inspired by my graduate programs to develop relationships and programs which allow youth informal education organizations to become true community impact centers and a force for greater good.
