After high school, I decided I wanted to become an art teacher. I have worked with children for most of my life helping them develop and grow. Throughout university, I had the opportuity to work in many different types of classrooms. While in school I was a nanny for two little girls and was able to watch them grow over the span of two years before I graduated and became a K-12 art teacher. During my years at university, I studied abroad in Paris and since then I have found a new love for traveling that I would like to continue. I am currently living in the South of France teaching English to children and soon after finishing this job I am moving to Australia as an Au Pair for three young children. I hope to continue my travels throughout my life.
