Summary
I am heavily involved in my school’s theater department, I have experience on stage as an actor as well as experience with multiple technical crew leadership positions. I have a lot of experience with childcare. I have 7 siblings, which I babysit very often, and currently work at Funtopia where I am always interacting with children in some way, shape or form. I am also very passionate about music. Some of my hobbies include playing guitar, ukulele, bass guitar, and keyboard and I am self taught on drywall stilts. I feel as though my experience with being backstage as well as my experience in all of the jobs that I’ve worked have really helped expand my problem solving skills, emotion regulation, and overall confidence.
