CURRENT MISSION

To teach English abroad

ABOUT ME

I have spent my entire life living in one city, but I have an insatiable desire to see the world and immerse myself in other cultures. I am a certified teacher, and it is my hope that my background will help me land a job teaching English abroad. I am also a bibliophile and art enthusiast, and am always open to friendly conversation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've climbed(mostly drove- but there was some hiking involved!) to the summit of Pike's Peak- certainly the most amazing view I've seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have learned that, in general, you are much better off being pleasant to people than otherwise- cordiality is a grossly undervalued quality.

I would like to learn as much as I can about as many subjects as time permits.
