At Hope College I tutored at-risk youth and volunteered with Girls on the Run.

After college, I taught at outdoor science schools in both North Carolina and California.  I taught about how our choices affect our earth.

Next I joined WorldTeach and became the first English teacher on Aerok, Maloelap in the Marshall Islands.  I was able to teach 2nd-8th graders who had barely heard English before.

My next teaching experience was in the Costa Rican rainforest.  I taught 3rd and 4th grade in a small town called Monteverde.  Monkeys and toucans were daily guests outside my classroom windows.

I recently returned to Ann Arbor after teaching 3rd grade at an international school in Chiang Mai, Thailand.  I'm currently pursuing my master's degree in elementary education.
