I graduated from the University of Florida in 2008 with a degree in Journalism - Film Production. I received a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) degree in 2009. And in 2015, I received a masters degree for international development at Babes Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. I have taught English to foreign students from all over the world, including the Republic of Moldova where I completed my Peace Corps service as an English and development volunteer during the years of 2011-2013. I am currently volunteering at a non-governmental organization, CIDO (Center for Innovation, Development and Organization). In addition, I am learning French and Russian while also working on several independent film projects focused on globally interconnected relationships.
