ABOUT ME

I grew up in suburban Massachusetts, studied in urban southern California, and then worked as a kindergarten teacher in rural Arkansas for the 2.5 years. I arrived to Mexico with a grant to teach English at a teacher's college in Mexico City and now, I am back to teaching Kindergarten at a private school.

PHILOSOPHY

"El unico peligro que corres visitando Mexico, es el deseo de quedarte."

"Qué grande el mundo, y qué pequeño, qué lejos los amigos, y qué cerca."

"To family, friends who become family, home, and homes away from home."

"Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, 'you owe me.' Look what happens with a love like that, it lights up the whole sky." - Hafiz
