CURRENT MISSION

to live a life of purpose and adventure

ABOUT ME
I'm an international educator passionate about social justice working on my Master's in Humanitarian Action. I recently returned to Southeast Asia to teach while I finish my thesis.

I lived in Myanmar for six years and taught students from all over the country. I also regularly volunteered at an animal shelter there and usually wind up rescuing strays as I travel.

Previously I taught in Vietnam, and worked for different organizations in the US focused on empowering immigrant and refugee youth through education.

PHILOSOPHY

I snorkeled with manta rays, sea turtles, stingless jellyfish, and a whale shark in Indonesia.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can offer travel tips, editing services, and a place to stay once I'm living abroad again.

I want to learn anything that can be taught, especially languages.
