CURRENT MISSION

I'm doing what matters.

ABOUT ME

I'm quirky, laid back, sincere, spirited with a sense of humor. I like to use the ol' noodle upstairs from time to time

Here's the dealio: Right after college, I got a gig as an Engrishie teacher in Seoul, Korea. This experience was challenging and rewarding, and therefore tremendously worthwhile. My contract expires in a few weeks and I'm grabbing my backpack and heading to Vietnam, Singapore, Bali-Indonesia, Malaysia, and India hoping to come back to the States still me, but rediscovered.

Now that "Eat, Pray, Love" is a movie, everyone is going to think I'm Julia Roberts.
