I'm a traveler, a writer, a teacher, and a learner. I love cooking, crocheting, and cats.

At the University of Colorado, I specialized in Africa and the Middle East through the International Affairs program. I also have certificates in International Media, Peace and Conflict Studies, and Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL).

I taught English in Benin through the US Peace Corps for two years and am currently teaching English in Southern France.
