CURRENT MISSION

see as much of the world as possible and to always let my passion and curiousity overpower complacency and mediocrity...

ABOUT ME

I'm 25... that says a lot yet nothing at all. I've never been good at these "About me" profile things. In person - yeah let's talk about me (and you and everything else) for hours. But it's hard to write a generic message to everyone. That said...

I'm originally from Memphis, TN. Moved to Washington, DC to go to the best university on the planet (Howard University) and then worked in corporate wholesale for a few years in San Diego and Los Angeles. I realized corporate America and wholesale weren't for me so I taught middle school back in Memphis, TN. And now I'm in Vermont getting my Masters in International Education. I want nothing more than for kids to have international experiences like I did, even when they think it's not possible. So I'd love to run study abroad programs. Outside of school my interests are as varied as the sea is vast. Very poetic way to say I love a lot of things! And I love learning about new things to love!
