CURRENT MISSION Being the best person I can be. ABOUT ME I was born in New Zealand but grew up in BC Canada. I returned to my birth country in June 2007. I consider myself a Canadian and a Kiwi-in-training. I teach Spanish, French, and English. I love foreign languages and culture. I speak French and Spanish fluently as well as a fair amount of Mandarin Chinese. I am an environmentalist and an aspiring health nut. I love cooking, international films, and reading everything from magazines to Spanish literature to random internet sites. My family is incredibly important to me. I have the best mom in the whole world. I have many friends that I also consider to be part of my family. The whole world is my home. PHILOSOPHY Karma. What goes around, comes around. Treat others as you would have them treat you. Observe. Participate. Learn. Don't judge. Be a part of the solution. Be the change you wish to see in the world.
