I taught Middle and High School ELA for four years, and decided teaching was not right for me. Now, I'm working on my second masters degree, living in a sorority house (as the house director or house mom), and doing research on continuing education programs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new and interesting people/ I don't see the point of paying for a hotel room when there's a couch nearby.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in India for three months studying abroad.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm certified to teach ELA (English Language Arts) and yoga... and I'd be more than happy to help you with a paper, give a book suggestion, or do some yoga as thanks for giving me a place to say.

I also love to share stories, food, or a ride if I have my car.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd be more than happy to make you food, help you with some chores around your house (as long as it does not involve blood), help you with a paper, or practice some yoga with you.
