Why did you choose to work at Chautauqua? What do you like about working at Chautauqua?
I chose to work at Chautauqua because it is a different world within the gates. Here you experience so many diverse cultures, identities, and ideas, all within 750 acres! I also love the arts, and this is a perfect place to explore all different forms.
Personal Interests
I enjoy traveling, kayaking, fishing, cooking, baking, and am a houseplant enthusiast!
