This will be my fourth year working at Camp Ballibay. I started as one of the DTH Division Heads while also working in the costumes and fibers department. I shifted into the role of Dean of Staff a couple years ago and then residential coordinator last year. This year I'll be continuing that position as well as helping in the art and tech (costumes) departments. I'm most looking forward to creatively exploring with all the incredible artist/counselors and campers — finding the intersections between our different art forms and unique processes. I'm also eager to disconnect from technology, reconnect with nature, and take the time to truly reset and recharge in Ballibay’s beautiful environment.
