Redding-raised and Westport-based, I’m a Redding Day Camp alum who returned in 2021 to shadow former Travel Camp Director Sarah Ewud (“Mrs. E!”) as programs restarted post-pandemic. After Sarah's retirement, our team continued to elevate the program and continue the Travel Camp tradition for the next generations of campers & their families.
Outside of camp I work with technology support in a middle school and previously supported special education and math intervention in an elementary school. I currently serve as an EMS crew chief for a local emergency medical service with EMT, AHA-BLS, Stop the Bleed, TECC, and DCF Mandated Reporter training. I’m an instructor for QPR Gatekeeper training and have additional training in human-trafficking prevention, restorative practices, and as a former Red Cross lifeguard for open water.
