I worked as a Community Education program teacher for three years. I primarily worked with students ages 5-12.

Interests: I was born and raised in the United States but have spent many years traveling and living in all parts of the world. Currently, I live between the USA and Tanzania.

I have worked in communications roles for the past four years, and prior to that, I was working for a community learning program for primary school children.

In my free time I love spending time outdoors, whether it is hiking, camping, exercising, or even gardening! I also really enjoy music, cooking, baking, and reading.
