Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to climb a tree.

I can share stories of Chinese history from my family, tell tales about the immigrants from Palestine, Turkey, Morocco, Nigeria, Ghana, and Ethiopia, or provide insight into the lifestyle of a startup in Silicon Valley.

I can teach you how to build things with computer science and math.

I want to learn how to play soccer, to dance, or various parts of culture from the countries I'm staying in.
