Work Experience

    For two summers during my college career, I was given the opportunity to work at Camp Joy in Cincinnati, Ohio.  At camp, I ensured the safety and excitement of 10 elementary aged children each week.  Working at camp was a blast and it provided me with high quality experiences of working with children, parents, and other staff members.  Below are a couple pictures of me hanging out with some great kids!
