Did you go to camp as a kid?
I did not! I was in Girl Scouts as a kid and we went to little sleepaway weekends. I wish I had gone to camp.

Well, now you’re here!
That’s why I was so excited to start working here; I feel like I missed out on it as a kid.

If you could eat one food for the entirety of the camp season, what would it be?
I really like the berry cobbler Mary makes. It’s good stuff. I also like pasta in any form.

If you were an animal, what animal would you be? Why? I really like snow leopards, so I’d be a snow leopard, because…they really like the snow? They like to be outside and they’re really cute animals...Snow is my favorite.
Why did you choose to work at a summer camp?
I’m very passionate about working with children, allowing them to experience nature, learn new skills, and learn about themselves. I also wanted to have that camp experience I didn’t get as a kid!
