I graduated from Northwestern University with a Bachelor of Science in Communications. After undergrad I got an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adult from Hamline. Iβm from Minneapolis, but I spent about 7 years in Chicago after college. I worked at a K-8 charter school for 5 years. There I worked as a Special Education teacher and a student services coordinator. In my role as a SSC I worked with sick and injured kids and this inspired my passion to go to nursing school to work as a school nurse. Recently Iβve worked as a postpartum doula so I have a lot of experience working with infants.

I have been a baby sitter for my siblings since I was young. I work at a summer camp during the summer and although that was not directly childcare I was a lifeguard and have knowledge of the tendencyβs of different age groups in a less structured setting. I also worked in the kiddie campus preschool at WACC for a school year learning about childcare from birth to preschool age. I have interned in a school setting with jr high music. And had to be in chargeof the class a few times.
