Some fun facts about me, Ann Arbor is my home town, but as an adult I Have had the privilege to live and see a lot of places in the country. Professional Experience: During the 2[removed] school year, I served as an AmeriCorps member in Seattle. The program I was served with is called City Year. They provided me with over 100 hours of training on how to teach and mentor elementary age students while I provided support in a 3rd-grade classroom. I had a group of students I tutored throughout the year with the curriculum I developed based on classroom practices. I ran a before and after school programs provided by South Sound YMCA from 2015-2018, providing care for 20-45 school age children any given day. During school breaks, I was a day camp counselor, an assistant teacher for Power Scholars, and a camp director. I also wrote and implemented the curriculum for all of these programs. For the last 5 years I have been a paraprofessional in public schools. Working with Special Education students, helping support them in general ed classes and in special education classes. I have worked in preschool, middle, and high school. Education: I have a B.S. in Psychology from Western Washington University where I focused on child development.
