CURRENT MISSION

I'm a 23 year old high school teacher. During the school year I am responsible for 120 teenagers. It's an adventure, but now that it's summer my mission is to have carefree fun!

ABOUT ME

Random facts:

1. I've been in a full body cast.

2. I once saw a B-list celebrity naked.

3. My students think that I'm thirty and that I only date felons.

4. I miss taking standardized tests. I was so excited to take the SAT that I took it a year early; I remember being filled with anticipation the night before as I prepared my mid-test power sandwich.

5. The only meat I eat is bacon.

Potentially more relevant facts:
1. I love meeting new people and learning about them. I'm a good listener.
2. I love to read and talk about ideas.
3. I love to be surprised by the experiences I stumble upon!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in experiencing as much as possible and overcoming imagined limitations.
