Hi there! I am an artist, entrepreneur, and early educator with a background in Child & Human Development. My current goal is to save money to open my own studio, where I can host more of my community events to make expressive art & play therapy practices accessible to all- while simultaneously continuing my higher education. I would love to be working consistently with one family part-time (25-30 hours per week), so I may have peace of mind about my living expenses and college tuition, while also having the time & flexibility to complete said degrees and grow my business alongside them. I have been teaching preschool, Montessori, and all-age art classes for over a decade, and now work primarily in direct care (children & pets), library programming, and community care coordination!
My girls adore Kat and will often request "playdates" if we go too long between visits. Kat's genuine love and curiosity towards children and childhood education shine through in the way she engages them with art, sensory projects, general silliness, trips to the library. Kat has become a beautiful and trusted support for our family.
