CURRENT MISSION I teach 4th grade in Lawrence, MA, just outside of Boston. It's a huge hub of immigrants from the DR and PR, which is the kind of work I hope to be doing for the next several years at least. ABOUT ME Spent three years teaching niños at a bilingual school in Honduras before heading back Stateside to try teaching here. PHILOSOPHY Listen to everyone, be skeptical of everything, eat apples and carrots.

Une chose incroyable que j'ai faite
Hitch-hiked and camped through Mexico a few summers ago, including one night in a Oaxacan circus tent. I've also done something called "kloofing" in South Africa.
Ce que je peux offrir à mes hôtes
I can share salsa/bachata basics and how to fold most things out of origami.
Mes centres d'intérêt
I love learning new things, even if I don't master them, I just like dabbling. This year I've taken stabs at learning guitar, knitting, sign language, and learning salsa and bachata, to varying degrees of success. Always love camping, hiking, biking, jogging adventuring, improving my Spanish, live music, and reading too much news (used to be a journalist)
