I'm an English teacher from Michigan 🌲🌊 and went to Berea College in Kentucky. I lived and taught in Galicia for a year. I moved to Madrid in 2017 for a Masters in International Education, and I am still living and teaching English in Spain, where I have also lived in Cantabria and Tenerife. I’m into art and literature and music, and I consider myself a writer, but I want to pursue a career in environmental education or conservation, and I’ve been thinking about studying in the Netherlands, Germany, France, or Belgium. If you have any relevant ideas or experience, I’d love to hear about it!

教，学，和分享

My life experiences are many and varied... I feel very young for all the things I've done and seen, and I often don't really think about it! I imagine maybe we are all like that in a way.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I like to have great conversations and listen to people. I have a decent knowledge of music and literature. I love recommending things to people to see if they like it. I'm great at doing dishes, and I can also cook pretty well but I’m better at baking.
