EXPERIENCE
My interest in working with young people began when, as a teenager, I took on babysitting jobs during my summer breaks. In no time at all, I became interested in the emotional and overall development of children and the ways in which they absorbed information. It was clear to me that a positive, safe environment coupled with a creative atmosphere, unquestionably, had a profound impact on not only the children's overall wellbeing but also on their entire learning experience.
Since then, I have continued to work with children in many age groups and with varying degrees of structure and content; it has become clear that the excitement of capturing and encouraging creative freedom over all disciplines and curricula is unmistakable, all encompassing and consistent.
