I’m a gentle, kindhearted, and intellectually curious high school English teacher eager to meet new people and explore new cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped to redress educational inequity through my work as a Teach for America corps member.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the correct placement of the French indirect pronouns as well as the difference between the words, “cousin” and “coussin.”
As you can tell, I love to learn about languages!
And I would love to share this love with the world!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Kindness and my attempts at writing poetry.
