CURRENT MISSION

Walk with increasing awareness of others walking around me

ABOUT ME

I just got back to the U.S. after teaching in Beijing for nearly a year. I'm really glad to have had the experience of living outside the U.S. and hope to travel to more places.

I'm pretty easygoing and I'm always happy if I can eat. I like to travel with books, and I haven't worn a watch in many years. But I am not late very often. I like trying new things and would love to spend more time outdoors.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone matters

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be happy to teach Chinese (up to my ability) and exchange writing. Also, I have edited grad school application essays.

I'd love to learn how to sew, cook more dishes, and design a web site.
