Academics

At fourteen I started teaching swimming for Red Cross. When I moved to Germany I found work as an ESL instructor. I have always been drawn to teaching, and am passionate about the classroom—the students, the subject matter, the learning process. I am also catching up with the 21st century and am moving into the virtual classroom online. I am always interested in teaching opportunities, online, long-distance, or in the classroom.
