CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people, cut through small talk and actually get to know people; push myself to do things that scare me.

I'm a 22-year-old recent college graduate who intends to spend a career in education, beginning with 2 years of Spanish teaching in Washington D.C. this June. Until then, I'm traveling around the whole country of Ecuador as well as the Chilean parts of Patagonia, and Salta and Buenos Aires in Argentina, practicing my Spanish and looking to learn about myself through traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I directed an outdoor orientation program for over 1,100 incoming students at my university; we prepared all of these students go to hiking for 5 days in the White Mountains, and trained over 360 volunteers to help facilitate it.

Also performed with an award winning a cappella group in college (Dartmouth Aires)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to help teach English, apologize for the current American president and convince you that not all Americans are like him, teach basic singing technique, basic ukulele, and more.

I'd love to learn anything! Right now, my top goal is to improve my Spanish - I've learned a lot over the years, but I want to be completely fluent in the language before I begin teaching this summer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am always looking to have fun and constantly looking to learn about others and myself.
