I've been a teacher at the ELI since 2010. I'm from Springfield, MO, and I enjoy writing,
reading, crafting, and spending time with my dog. I am very interested in the exchange
of ideas, cultures, and experiences with fellow humans from around the globe, and
I'm always happy to engage and help in any way I can.
