Hobbies
My passion is to help people make connections to improve their lives. As a tutor I know how much we can learn by teaching, so my latest project is developing collaborative learning games to help learners share their knowledge with one another while having fun. I truly enjoy cultural exchange, and believe that travel and interaction have as much value as time in a classroom. I have lived and worked overseas for 8 years, and hosted over 80 exchange students here in California. My dream is to have an international seminar house where people can come from all over the world to teach and learn.
