CURRENT MISSION

Meeting new people, establishing and nurturing friendships, and finding balance in life

ABOUT ME

Hi there! I moved to Vancouver in September 2013 to work as a Montessori elementary teacher. It's the first time I plan to stay in one place for more than a year since graduating college in 2009! Since then I've lived in various foreign countries and met a lot of amazing people who have helped shape who I am today.

PHILOSOPHY

I strive to constantly seek out new challenges and put myself in situations that would push me to grow. For example, moving to a country where I don't speak the language or doing field research in a developing country or going on a 9-week hiking expedition!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my most memorable experiences was riding a bike through little Dutch villages and fields of tulips.

I have successfully immigrated to Canada...biggest accomplishment of my life!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's talk about MBTI typology...I could talk about it forever! Also any sort of deep meaningful conversations about life and love are always welcome :)

I also love to practice foreign languages...currently working on French via audiotape in my car. "Ecoutez et repetez!"
