Hi! My name is Jade, I use they/them pronouns, and this is my 7th year working with children. During the school year, I am the assistant director of a childcare center, but I used to be an elementary school general music teacher! My first instrument was saxophone, but now I mostly sing and play piano. I love Nintendo video games like Pokémon and The Legend of Zelda, and I also enjoy writing and being outside in nature. I am excited to be joining the Camp Levine team for the first time this summer! 

Ms. Paula Zabel is so glad to be returning to Camp Levine! She has degrees from Macalester College and Westminster Choir College and has worked for Montgomery County Public Schools for many years now. She enjoys ballroom dancing, biking, gardening, but above all, she loves working with music students!
