ABOUT ME

I just finished a 7 month stint as an English teaching assistant at a French high school in northern France...it was great to live in France and have the chance to do some traveling around Europe! I will soon be moving to Atlanta to teach elementary school through Teach for America. Looking forward to moving back down South!
