Volunteer Spotlight: Amaris

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I am a Fieldwork Educator at Stark State College in the Occupational Therapy Assistant Program. I have the best job ever! I get to play everyday!! I have a husband named Bryan. I have 2 boys, Jayden and Parker. I also have a mini Australian Shepherd named Neevie.

We want to get to know you! What are some of your favorites? (food, color, season, activity, restaurant, place to shop, etc.)

My favorite food is Mexican. My favorite colors are purple and green. My favorite season is Summer. I love watching my boys play sports!! The best restaurant is Texas Roadhouse! I love to go to the Grove City Outlets for a girls trip with my mom!

How did you learn about GiGi’s and what prompted you to become a volunteer?

What is your favorite experience you have had at the Playhouse?

So many its hard to say!! Probably dancing with the participants. I love that I get to listen to music and just have fun all day long.
