      Founder and Director

      As co-founder of this language immersion summer camp, I was involved in every aspect of its development. I worked with the year-round team to develop our mission and values, and then ensured the integration of those values into all of our work. My role as communications lead led me to engage in a meaningful way with families, language teachers, and language teaching organizations across three states. While our camp didn't outlast COVID, I'm proud of what we built and the impact we had on our campers and staff. Show less
