Summary

I am a Junior Art and Design Education major at Adelphi University. I have many years of experience in childcare and as an artist. I have taught and supervised children of ages ranging from 3-16 years old. I have supervised children in a wide range of environments including classrooms, outdoor environments, boats, and art studios. I truly have a passion for inspiring the younger generations to be creative and keep the love of learning alive.


I have years of experience in customer service being a cashier at my family's hardware store and now working in an organic grocery store and deli. I make it a priority to interact with customers to form a connection with them to make their shopping experience more enjoyable.
