I have spent many years in various environments (Papua New Guinea, rural TN, etc.) volunteering to teach people of all ages and backgrounds. I have over five years experience teaching troubled teens music and art. In that time I was also given the opportunity to work with children who had ASD, speech impediments and mental health disorders. My passion for community and bringing joy to youth has only grown through those experiences and I would be so honored to work with you!
