Summary

My aim is to provide an experience for the kids that focuses on self expression and building an environment around them that supports whatever that may be. While I aim to help students further their education and life applicable skills, I want students to explore their own interests and passions. I aim to provide support and a comfortable space for students to grow and make mistakes. I focus on patience, communication, and collaboration with the children I work with. I focus on positive reinforcement and aim to help students problem solve and work through difficult situations/emotions in a healthy way.
