I am a positive and creative person. I am energized by the goodness in those around me, and I like to work closely with people who build off my ideas and whose ideas help me to be more creative. I hope to work in a collaborative environment, finding ways to help people stay happy in their day-to-day lives. I have always worked closely with youth, as a camp counselor, ski instructor, and classroom teacher. I try to learn from the inborn imagination and optimism of these children and adolescents while I help them grow into creative, ethical, and happy adults.
