After college, I danced with a traveling dance company that taught science through dance. As I continued my higher education I learned more about how children absorb knowledge through a variety of ways. Traditional classrooms center on visual and auditory learning which leaves kids anxious, fidgety, and bored. I am on a mission to change that. I have created a multi-faceted camp curriculum that centers on movement and hands-on experiences to bring learning to life.
Nicholas grew up in North Carolina but is currently attending school in Utah. He speaks Arabic and enjoys making food and experimenting with new recipes, traveling, and learning about new things. He is passionate about empowering people to take charge of their own education and enabling them to become independent learners, including those with special needs. He hopes to put these goals into practice professionally by becoming involved in teaching, education administration, parent education, or teacher training. He is excited to be a part of Better Brain Camp and to see if he really has what it takes to launch into a career in education!
Sarah enjoys dance and has been doing it since she was 3! She also loves hiking, being outdoors, and spending time with friends. She is fluent in Spanish and has traveled on 3 continents and many countries. She loves helping others grow and succeed at doing new things. She plans to become a doctor in the future and help people be healthier through surgery. For now she's excited to teach a group of energetic young kids how to take care of their bodies and learn that wellness goes well beyond fitness!
Natalie enjoys listening to music and making people laugh. She is very energetic around others and can motivate and inspire a group, and at the same time she is able to show empathy and be aware of the needs of individuals. She has spent time throughout her high school years volunteering in organizations and camps, planning activities and leading younger children and youth. She is excited to continue at Better Brain Camp by leading all the games, singing and fun that makes camp a place where kids really want to be!
