Summary

With a strong foundation in Shakespeare that began at the age of 7, I eagerly participated in this camp program every year until I entered high school. I further developed my skills and passion for the Bard by taking part in Fall Fest and other Shakespearean activities during my high school years. Now, I am eager to give back to the program that played a pivotal role in shaping me into the confident, creative individual that I am today. As a camp counselor, I am committed to fostering a safe and nurturing environment that allows young minds to flourish. With my extensive background in creativity, I will approach all activities, group and individual counseling with a strategic and innovative mindset. I am confident that through collaboration with both staff and campers, we can work together to create a truly unforgettable experience that encourages personal growth and empowers each individual to find their unique voice.
