About Mara

Currently I work part time at a public library where I do teen programming, so planning programs for children ages 12-18. Most of my programs circle around crafting, but I also provide volunteer opportunities, some stem, a chess club, and a GSA. I have one year experience substitute teaching for grades 8-12. Most of this experience lands with older aged children, however I interact with children of all ages during my desk shifts at the library, and I've also helped my coworkers with their programming for younger children. I received my English Lit BA from Ithaca College in 2021, where I also studied writing, environmental studies, and K-12 education. I spend most of my free time listening to audiobooks while crafting and doing tasks around the house. I like DIY projects, gardening, cooking, ect. Ideally I would like to work with a family who values education and learning.
