Hannah – (Left)

“My name is Hannah Baker, and I’m excited to be with Oak Hill’s Kids Club! I moved to Eugene about five months ago from Idaho. I love the city and feel right at home, albeit I’m not as familiar with the in’s and out’s of the city as any local Eugenian. I study journalism and cinema part-time at Lane Community College, and I’m on track to transfer to the University of Oregon with an Associate of Arts degree. I’ve been involved in theater and the performing arts since I was six years old. My theatrical background often blends with my work with kids, so I never seem to stop playing. I love music, drama, dance, and any sort of creative expression. My favorite food is burritos. If you ever want to surprise me with coffee, I love a good Americano.”

Myrna – (Right)

“My name is Myrna McCarthy, I recently relocated to Springfield Oregon with my husband and daughters. I’m happy to start my life in such a beautiful State. I’m originally from Tijuana, México until the age of 16. I’ve lived in San Diego, CA the last 32 years of my life.

I’m a mother of two adult daughters who started at Lane Community College this winter. I have over 15 years of professional and personal experience. I have primarily worked with Preschoolers and Transitional Kindergarten. I attended Southwestern College in Chula Vista, CA. focusing in Child Development.

My passion has always been helping, educating, motivating, and nurturing children. I bring fluency in English and Spanish along with an essential understanding of any parental concerns. I make sure I have a positive relationship with students and parents in order to be a support system for the whole family. Combining my extensive hands-on experience with my artistic/creative thinking skills makes my job so fun! I enjoy all types of music, art, nature walks, languages, movies, and spending quality time with my family and our pets.

I’m happy to be part of Oak Hill’s KIDS Club and start my new journey with students.”
