I've been studying philosophy as a graduate student at Northwestern University for four years, and now I'm teaching ESL and working remotely as an Academic Technology consultant while traveling. When I'm not reading and writing and teaching, I like to play guitar, take photographs, watch films, explore the city, go to museums, and play pool/darts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in the Canary Islands for a year, teaching Computer Science in a secondary school that consisted of igloo-classrooms on top of a semi-dormant volcano.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an ESL teacher, and I love learning languages in general, so I'd be happy to teach aand learn languages together!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I play guitar and violin, so we could jam together. Again, I love teaching languages, so I'd love to share that. I also love to cook!
