I am a passionate individual with a drive to learn and contribute to a more socially responsible society, working to improve quality of life and enable people to develop themselves.  I believe teaching English is a rewarding and worthwhile job empowering people to live as global citizens.

Throughout my career I have held positions which have involved communicating with people of various ages, cultures and mental states.  I have taught both English and Environmental Education in schools in Korea, Mexico and Scotland.
