CURRENT MISSION

I would like cultural interaction with people from around the world.

ABOUT ME

I am an English and social studies teacher. I have served in the Peace Corps in Kyrgyzstan and Liberia. I have traveled widely and have been to around seventy countries. My job away from my job is taking students on experiential education trips. I have taken students to Thailand, India, Vietnam, China, and the United States. It is my goal to establish a company which facilitates student experiences in the wilderness and abroad. In my free time I like to hike, camp, kayak, run, cycle, swim, and watch and play sports.

PHILOSOPHY

I am dedicated to self-improvement, educating others, and promoting justice for all. I love helping others.
