CURRENT MISSION

Ready to catch the travel bug

ABOUT ME

I graduated university in 2008 and have been working random jobs ever since. I have spent time as a bartender, school yearbook photographer, Teaching Volunteer, Radio DJ, Video Store Clerk, Film Festival Intern, and Pathologist. I've run the gamut. In September 2010, I got a job with EPIK (English Program in Korea), and have live on the tiny island of Jeju-do, teaching elementary school English ever since.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fishing off the Gulf Coast was one of the most gleeful experiences of my life. Also traveling across the Western United states with friends, nothing beats a good road trip. Also all the wonderful adventures I've had in Southeast Asia have been a blast.

Teach, Learn, Share

My passion in life is for movies and music. Always willing to hit up a conversation about either and always looking for new things I haven't heard or seen. I'm also in the process of going back to school to become a teacher, currently I work with 4th graders who are under their reading level.

I served as a journalist for several years, therefore I know quite a bit about the English language and all its ridiculous conventions.

Another hobby of mine is making beer. Its a hobby that has been very rewarding, and one that I've always loved sharing with people. It isn't that hard at all to do, and you can make some delicious product!
