ABOUT ME

After growing up in Chicago, I moved to Manila in October 2002, where I've lived ever since. While living here, I learned that I love to travel, especially to developing countries, and meeting people to learn more about different cultures.

I teach at Faith Academy, a school for the children of missionaries. I love my job, teaching grade 4, with a mix of various cultures within the class.

One of my favorite things to do is scuba diving...and talking about scuba diving!

What else should I have here?

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite - The Power of One (1991-ish, saw it accidentally when I snuck into a theater as a dumb jr. high kid).

New Favorite to add to the list: Australia (Loved it!)

I read way too much to have a favorite book. Most read, the Bible.
