my story
My varied background in education and training has given me a well-rounded perspective on life and people’s unique needs. I taught abroad for four years in Spain, Guatemala, and Costa Rica and gleaned invaluable insights about each culture and my own way of thinking. I’ve also served as a literacy specialist at a Mandarin and Spanish immersion school, a training specialist for a Chinese E-learning company, and facilitated wellness classes to sailors in the Navy aboard different types of ships. I understand the need for flexibility while working with different populations, and I’m passionate about helping people achieve their full potential.
