About the store
I am nothing if not eclectic.
I have taught in private schools in the US, Vietnam, and Ecuador, as well as at a university in Mexico.
As a Washington State native, I continually revisit my roots. Recently, I had the pleasure of teaching at an IB Private school in Bellevue.
Previously, I taught Language Arts in Arizona.
I have also taught Adult Education in Grant writing, reading, the ACT & TOEFL test taking, and writing fiction.
I am currently a PHD student at California Institute of Integral Studies where we consider the spaces where the intersectionality of thought systems can coexist in conversation.
