I was born and raised in San Francisco, California, USA. Before my teaching career I was heavily into dance and spent much time perfecting my art. My trips around the world lead me to gain an interest of different cultures and people. During this time I began photography and scuba diving. When I got my teaching credential it opened up the world to me and aside from teaching back in the U.S, I have also taught 1 year in Bogota, Colombia,  3 years in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and now I will begin my 3rd year teaching 2nd grade, here in Taichung, Taiwan. I look forward to working with children during this 2020-2021 school year!
