I worked a few times for Mrs. De'Ghellinck as a babysitter for her three youngest or two youngest children. I mostly stayed with them at their house, but once brought them to Princeton for a day during Mrs. De'Ghellinck's appointment.

I currently run the Solebury School Music Instagram.

My jobs are to manage and create engaging posts and stories, and keep up with outreach and social media algorithms. I aim to post three posts a week, and at least two stories. I had created my own daily story called Musical Milestones, where I share a fun fact about some musical milestone that happened on that date in the past. I also manage live streaming concerts and promoting events.

I currently am in the role of Solsingers intern for my choir teacher, or in other words, vocal department intern.

My jobs are to manage promotions and advertising, create posters for concerts, create programs for concerts, supervise/manage classes and take attendance when my teacher isn't present, assist with choices related to music and concert organization, and help as a class assistant.

I attended Fiddleheart Camp, a Harry Potter based camp, for years before I got the chance to work as a counselor. I loved it.
