Summary
I am currently working as a Library Assistant in a Children's Museum where I have been able to grow and shine with my programming skills. With my past three jobs I have been introduced to working more alongside the community and being able to provide and lead programs that let me engage and share my passions with children. I have worked in both outdoor and indoor environments where I always aim to try to create an environment for children that encourages this balance between what is known and what could be.
