Profession: Surf Instructor - Haleiwa, Oahu, HI

In this role, I was responsible for teaching students (mostly kids 15 and under) the basics of surfing, as well as important safety information about surfing and the ocean.

Interests: I LOVE surfing! In fact, I love all things about the ocean. I also love to read; I always keep at least one book nearby.

I have been a foreign language learner myself; in 2008 I lived abroad in Italy for one year with a host family in Milan. I was there as part of a student exchange program and attended school throughout the week to improve my Italian language skills. My love of languages started here!
