Love to paint and make crafts.
I like to think I am very creative. In my free time I love to paint on canvases, old records and anything I find on Pintrest. I love to scrapbook and anything to do with making crafts.
Volunteered as a summer camp counselor in the summer of 2015.
I volunteered at the Toledo Metroparks the summer of 2015. I needed extra service hours for high school and saw that they needed volunteers. I was able to be a leader of my own group of kids where we went on multiple nature walks, made varies crafts and made new friends. This experience helped me love teaching and knew that's the career I wanted.
