How did you learn about North Star and why did you apply?
My mother was visiting her brother in MN and was given/found a flyer that they were looking for a camp nurse. I was graduating in the Spring, and she knew I did not want a hospital position right away, so she passed it along. I didn't know if it would work out, but I looked into it. Needless to say, I AM SO EXCITED!

What is a little Known fact about yourself:
I still sleep with a teddy bear named Mr. Bear at the ripe age of 21.
What, if any previous camp/outdoor experiences have you had?
My family often went camping when I was growing up, and I spend as much time as I can outdoors. I grew up 5 miles from Lake Huron so much of my time is spent on the beach, campfires, and in the water. I also attended a camp in Canada when I was younger which I super enjoyed.
