Nature | Relaxation | Service
“Nature: The outdoors is a great way to clear one’s mind and appreciate the beauty in which we live. As a WI Master Naturalist I hope to pass on my love of nature. I am passionate about gardening. Relaxation: Working overnights I try to find different ways to relax for myself and others, especially kids that have a hard time sleeping. I incorporate breathing exercises, crocheting/knitting, and as many naps as I can get into my own daily routine. Service: As a lover of all Crafts I teach the kids that want to learn to crochet. All three of the girls units have made afghans that were donated to a women’s shelter in the area.”
QUOTE
“As an overnight staff I am most concerned about the kids relaxation and making sure that they have a good night feeling safe and secure in their environment.”

Nature | Recreation | Relationships
“When we find something that we are genuinely passionate about doing and makes us happy, it can really help ease our daily stressors and worries in life and completely hone in on that moment. Sharing these passions with others can help us foster these new, healthy relationships, which are so beneficial for our overall well-being. In turn, when we are able to combine both of these elements with nature, it can help us do some deep self-reflection, help with emotional regulation, and instill this idea of all the different possibilities in our life.”
QUOTE
“Hope, to me, is this notion that we all go through highs and lows in life to where the highs can be really high and the lows really low. However, in the midst of all of this darkness, we are still able to remain positive about our future and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. It’s just the only way through is through.”
