About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Re-assimilation.

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm a pretty awesome woman! My first love is music, and I play a few instruments while singing my heart out. I also love all things art.

When I'm not busy making art, I am trying to be a good role model as a teacher, and hope that I can get my students to grow up to be interesting people. I was teaching English in South Korea for the past 2 years, and have recently moved back to Portland, OR.

Grad school is my next pursuit, which will be the center of my universe for the next year or so. I'm happy to be a student again!

PHILOSOPHY

I think this is best summed up by one of my favorite song lyrics by Neko Case:
"Yes there are things that I'm still so afraid of/but my courage is roaring like the sound of the sun."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done a lot! I think this will also be best discussed in person or via a "get to know you" email.

Some examples: eaten putrified shark in Iceland, watched a sunset from a mountain top, listened to Bob Dylan on a summer day, lived abroad, and many more.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to think this is what we do daily.
