Summary

I am very energetic and open-minded, and always willing to insert an artistic mindset and approach to any situation. I can get along with anyone and make sure to communicate as much as I possibly can. An open and welcoming environment is extremely important to thrive, and I intend on providing this wherever I am. I have been doing art for my entire life, and I also plan on using not only art, but also the creative and flexible mindset that comes with it. My job experiences include working at a cookie store, Mary's Mountain Cookies for 2 years, along with nannying. I have learned much about myself and the world around me through these jobs, but I am very excited to learn more wherever I end up!
