Sabrina Belvoir
Aide
Sabrina Belvoir joined our Revillage community with her daughter Scarlett last November in 2023. Growing up Brina had a love for geology and being close to nature. She is very excited to relearn and teach the children how to connect with the earth. Sabrina plans to engage the children's interest in gardening and general curiosity of nature. Inviting conversations about how living things grow when you're able to take care of them, including ourselves.
Outside the classroom Sabrina is a mixed media artist. Her goal is to one day attend tattoo school, and acquire an Oregon license. Until then she's able to think of creative ways to excite the children in our Midtown classroom. This new beginning has opened a lot of opportunities and Brina wants to continue to expand her education in childhood development. It is all very exciting to teach and learn from our younger generations!
