About Me

I'm an ESL Professor at Seneca College. I find my job very rewarding. I have a boss who is supportive and trusts my judgment and coworkers who are equally inspired by their work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm solo-traveling to Europe this spring, and I'd like to meet some friends and have some adventures!

Interests

I'm very interested in dance. I started dancing later in life, and I have an unquenchable hunger for it! I dance four times a week, mostly ballet and jazz and like to choreograph little dance sketches in my free time. :)

In addition to dance, my hobbies include yoga, soccer, cooking, sailing, hiking, camping, painting, drawing, choir, piano, personal development, and meditation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a choral singer for 16 years. Two years ago, I sang as a first soprano with the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir, which is a professional choir in Toronto that sings with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English. I'm licensed, experienced, and pedagogically trained. I'm also a pretty good improv dancer, so I can do that.

I'd like to learn anything. I'd like to have lots of adventures in Europe, so I'm game for anything. (so long as it is safe!)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm really into wellness and personal development and have had some pretty amazing experiences over the years. I have lots interesting stories to share!
