About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To boldly go where many people have likely gone before.

ABOUT ME

I love to sing and dance (not professionally, just for fun). I love language and culture. I have studied French, Mandarin and New Zealand Sign Language and hope to study Spanish and German as well.
I go to church and lived in Canada at a Christian retreat for 3 years. Had a blast and hope to travel again soon. I can be loud and talkative but I can also be quiet and have my deep moments too.

Now I am teaching English in China and exploring a little while here. Planning up a storm for all the places I want to see.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live life by treating other people the way I want to be treated. I try to live like Jesus and accept the people around me and hope they see a little of Him in me.
