CURRENT MISSION Learning how to operate in a world where we know much less than we don’t. ABOUT ME I went to Bangladesh in 2010 through a Fulbright grant to learn Bangla and co-teach English, and ended up staying for 2 years after that to teach English in a local school there. Wanting to become more involved in education, I signed on as a teacher at an international school in Niamey, Niger in west Africa. After teaching there three years, I taught in Kuwait for a year and then took a year off to travel. PHILOSOPHY I travel to learn and grow through challenge. Understanding things is exciting for me, and that’s one reason why I also teach. I like asking questions and love it when people have questions for me as well. I think a lot about how we are shaped by our contexts and how there is so much interdependence around us, but at the same time our sense of self is so strong. I also think about how we create meaning for the lives we live, and I’m really curious how that plays out differently for different people.
