About Me

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I competed in the heptathlon in college. It was an extremely painful event in track and field but super rewarding! I really miss competing and the team atmosphere.

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I'm an English teacher I'm very happy to help out with any English skill development. Also, I speak Spanish and could teach you some vocabulary and phrases!

I'm really working on my Korean right now and I would love to meet people to practice what I know with.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a great cook! I cook lots of fusion style meals and would be happy to cook for you :)

Also, I love to work out so I'll always be willing to be a workout buddy!
