Music: I have a wide range in musical taste, I listened to country a lot while I was living abroad. My parents raised me to love Van Morrison and James Taylor, and when I'm running or working out I like listening to up-beat pop songs. Movies: I'm not a big movie watcher, but some of my favorite movies are: The Blindside, Blood Diamond, and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Books: The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, The Defining Decade by Dr. Meg Jay, The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, The Gift of Rain by Tan Iwan Eng

I have quite a bit of actual teaching experience (Maine, Spain, and Malaysia) which has made me very aware how other people learn. I also love to bake! I'm an open-minded person who loves to learn about other people's life experiences.
