I love life, and am so grateful for all the roles I have had the opportunity to play!

I've been an ESOL teacher of primary-grade children for 4 and a half years (K-3, depending on the year) and adore working with these always fun, creative, and inspiring little ones! Their excitement to learn is so energizing!

In the past, I've also been able to student teach grades K-8, design a college course on multicultural literature, serve as assistant director for a children's Shakespeare summer program, mentor/nanny gifted children, and tutor kids of all ages in a variety of subjects.

In my free time, I love reading all kinds of literature, especially speculative fiction, writing, playing Pokemon Go and other casual video games, walking, and spending time with my wonderful family and friends.
