About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore a little of Montreal and Quebec City while I’m in between programs, working for an outdoor education and adventure travel company.

ABOUT ME

I love cooking but mostly eating. I laugh at just about anything and love conversation.

Currently a seasonal educator in California and abroad. My work centers around experiential education, outdoor ed and global citizenship. 😄 My last trip was to Morocco in April 2018. Next is Quebec City/Montreal in late September 2018.

Based in Redmond, OR and former resident of Bellingham, WA.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Mt. Adams with my mountain-man dad and my best friend and got the best sunburn of my life. :)

I would love to share the knowledge I've gained from traveling to Europe and Africa especially learn more about sustainable living. And I would love to share my language skills!
