✈️ California—Minnesota—Taiwan & back✈️

I grew up in Santa Cruz, California, went to a small liberal arts college in Minnesota where I studied biology and Chinese, spent a year in Taiwan on a fellowship teaching English, and am now back in California, working at the California State Parks on Angel Island.
