Summary

I am a well-trained and extremely positive leader. I am thrilled about the possibility of bringing all I've learned in my time as a leader in Girl Scouts to the Arrowhead that I know and love, this time as a Junior Counselor. My proven experience with young kids has set me up for this opportunity, and I could not be more excited to work as a team to make Arrowhead Camp a success this year.
