CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to meet diverse people and expand my understanding of the world.

ABOUT ME

I am a full time teacher who loves to travel. I am currently settled down in Philadelphia and want to open my home. I developed a love for learning about different cultures when I began summer camp at the age of 12. I attended summer camp for 7 years with international staff from all over the world. In college I studied abroad in Brazil and Ireland, volunteered in Guatemala while studying Spanish and completed my masters degree in South Africa. I have taught English to study abroad students in Fort Myers and hosted the student leaders from France and Spain at my house. In 2017-2019 I lived in Panama.
