Profile:
An experienced English teacher, my career began in 2002 in South Korea where I taught for 15 years. In subsequent years it was also my pleasure to teach in Cambodia and China. At the end of January of this year I returned to the U.S. to reconnect with my roots. Apart from teaching, a big part of my life is my vegetarianism and healthy living.
