One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After I graduated from college in May 2008, I spontaneously, packed up and moved to rural Alaska to teach reading/writing in a 97% Yup'ik Eskimo village on the Yukon River. I learned more about life in those two years than I ever thought imaginable. I also met the love of my life, John. We lived in Alaska from 2008-2017. Now, we live in a small town in Arkansas so we can share our kids (4 YO son, 13 YO daughter) with their grandparents and extended family.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Kayaking, hiking, backpacking.

Learn: ANYTHING! I love learning, especially languages and cultures.

Share: A brewski and conversation.
