One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Organized "Girls Run Our World", a girls empowerment program and Color Run, in my community in Mongolia under Michelle Obama's "Let Girls Learn" initiative.

Defied gender norms by conducting said program and my girls are so much more confident about exercising in public alongside boys.

Found a homeless frozen puppy and promptly adopted her.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories and experiences about my life and Mongolia
I teach yoga, English, lead a running club, and conduct public health programs in my community so I am happy to share what I know about any and all of these topics
I'm also a great cook, if I do say so myself, so if you live to eat we will get along just fine!
