Hello families, my name is Kourtney Desmuke. For the bulk of my professional career I have worked with children specifically between the ages of five to twelve years old. Innovation, creativity, and empathy are just a few soft skills in my arsenal! Tapping into these skills allows me to create a safe, meaningful, and personable bonds with kiddos. Innovative communication styles are needed to work with such exploratory minds. I have worked with children across the autism spectrum and neuro-typical which has reinforced my ability to sympathize, discipline, and empathize which are also key components to forming any relationship.I really enjoy any medium of art and science, as the two work in tandem. In addition I love pets and reading anything science-fiction!
