About the store
As an expat from Scotland I have a pretty broad educational experience. I taught a variety of subjects for 3 years in Scotland including: geography, science, history, politics, rugby, and religious studies. My heart has always belonged to geography though and I received my Masters in Geography and Economics before moving to America. I also secured my Post Graduate Diploma in Education from Glasgow University before we emigrated. Once in Texas I became a fifth grade physical geography teacher for a charter school called BASIS and I love my job!
