Hey there, I'm a Southern California native who moved to the Roaring Fork Valley the day after graduating from CSU Long Beach. I enjoyed the adventurous offerings this magical and provides like snowboarding, hiking, backpacking, and rock climbing.

During my time in the valley, I worked as a private nanny, caring for children ranging from 8 months to 5 years old. I also had the pleasure of serving as a camp counselor at Ajax Adventure Camp and worked at Honey Tree Preschool for a period of time. These experiences allowed me to witness the growth and development of young minds firsthand.

Driven by my desire to make a difference, I decided to travel abroad to Thailand in 2017 for approximately two years. There, I taught English to children ranging from 4 to 18 years old, immersing myself in their educational journey. Additionally, I had the privilege of volunteering with Burmese refugee children, offering my support and care to these resilient young souls.

I also had the incredible chance to spend around eight months living in Southern Mexico, where I embraced the local culture, learned Spanish, and developed a deep appreciation for the region's beauty.

Now, I'm pursuing a Master's degree in Social Work at the University of Denver. Through my travels, I've acquired valuable skills in emotional intelligence, compassionate communication, and nurturing care, which have only enhanced my patience and ability to connect with children of all ages.

I find immense joy in engaging in outdoor play, discovering new arts and crafts activities, and embarking on nature explorations with kids. As an open-minded and curious individual, I genuinely love entering and exploring the imaginative worlds children create. I'm excited about the prospect of meeting you and your family!
