Summary
I am a hard-working student studying Kinesiology at UVA, with a passion for working with kids. I have experience with children ages 1-13, and while at UVA, I balanced academics with babysitting, volunteering, and spending my free time outdoors. I am organized, a great listener, and can adapt to any work environment. I love adventure, spending time outside, traveling to foreign countries, and pushing myself out of my comfort zone.
