CURRENT MISSION

preparing to return to Ukraine

ABOUT ME

lifelong learner, optimistic, spontaneous, generous, adventurous, fun, open.

For the past two years I've worked in Ukraine teaching English. I've met some great people and I've had an amazing experience working abroad. I'm returning to the USA in July 2013 for a couple months and then coming back to Ukraine to continue my work. Being a native speaker in a country where a lot of people want to learn English is a lot of fun. I really enjoy listening to other people's stories and learning about their traditions and cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

The best way to predict the future is to create it

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know if it's amazing, but I taught my horse Sammy about 15 tricks. We put on a small cowboy show for elementary schools and community events in Ohio and sometimes Sammy was Amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I make the best freshly squeezed orange juice! Will be happy to make some for you!

One interesting thing that happened to me while living in Dnipro was that I co-wrote and hosted my own series for English Club TV. As a way of validating who I am, you can Google "English Club TV" and find the "Art of Conversation" show. I'm the host and teach two students in the studio. This experience was a lot of fun.
