ABOUT ME

I finished college in 2009 (University of Wisconsin - La-Crosse), several months later I moved to Cambodia to serve as a Peace Corps volunteer. I lived next to a coconut tree and swung in my hammock, occasionally teaching english. I read 100 books during my 2 year adventure!

After Cambodia, I moved to Daejeon, South Korea and taught 2nd and 3rd grade students at a private immersion school.

And now.... I'm going to Alaska for the summer!

PHILOSOPHY

life is too short to be anything but happy.
