10 summers as a camper

6th year on staff

For the last four years I’ve been working as a Display Artist for Anthropologie (doing all of their interior and window art installations), but I just quit to pursue my freelancing career as a display/installation artist! My long-term dream is to become an archaeologist. I grew up at camp, but it’s my first summer back in 5 summers, and I’m stoked to be here! I’m obsessed with my crosseyed cat, Lavender. I love Carhartt overalls, my jigsaw, Law and Order SVU, and scuba diving. I’m passionate about pursuing justice of all kinds in my community and beyond.

"If anyone has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." 1 John 3:17-18

Personal Interests: All things creative, scuba diving, learning about history

When I have an hour of free time, I like to… watch Law and Order SVU

Something you wouldn’t guess about me: ….I can build tables and things?

The emoji that describes me: the one with the sentimental eyes

The one thing that makes any day better: A last minute lunch with a friend

Best camp tradition? ugh, I JUST LOVE IT ALL

Favorite Evening Program? whatever is happening the night in question :)

The camp food I can’t wait to eat is… tomato pie // bread pudding

Item that I MUST bring to Camp with me: pregnancy pillow (I’m not pregnant) - comfort is ESSENTIAL

My go-to pump up song: Love on Top

The best book I’ve read this year: The Grishaverse Trilogy (Shadow and Bone)

My guilty pleasure: getting emotional to some Cat Stevens, Carole King, and Whitney Houston

The most famous person I’ve met is… Wes King, obviously

I wanted to work at Greystone because… it’s a miracle in the mountains, truly.

The best thing about camp will be… being in the great outdoors with the best people!
