ABOUT ME

Starting in September I will be studying for my masters in Dual Language Elementary Education at Bank Street College in Manhattan. I'm really excited to start the new program and to get to know a new city!

I love learning whether that is through travel or reading or just wandering around the neighborhood. I have a streak of idealism, and like to believe I can make the world a slightly better place. I can be a little shy, but I love getting to know new people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a pretty good English teacher, and I love learning languages so we could make it an exchange.

I also think I'm a decent cook, especially vegetarian stuff, and the best way to learn that is cooking together. Another thing I love to do.
