CURRENT MISSION

To do what is good, not what is easy

ABOUT ME

I love traveling, dancing, and am currently teaching fifth and sixth grade at an awesome charter school. Eventually, I hope to teach abroad, because it would allow me to combine my passions for traveling and teaching. I believe that traveling and immersing yourself in another culture, stepping outside of your comfort zone, is how we grow and gain wisdom. Experiences and making memories is what life's all about.

PHILOSOPHY

"Voici mon secret. Il est tres simple: on ne voit bien qu'avec le coe“ur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
--le renard

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

Although I am employed as a teacher, I think of myself more as a learner. I learn from my students, my peers, older generations, my parents, strangers...it's amazing how much there is to learn from others if you just sit back and listen.
