Hello Everyone! My academic and professional background is in social psychology and communications, especially linguistics and foreign languages. I have a very broad range of knowledge, experience, and skills and I am exceptionally resourceful and creative in my endeavors. Originally from Portland, Oregon, U.S.A., my travels have taken me to over 30 countries to explore peoples and cultures. For the past 4.5 years, I lived in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, working with nearlly 1000 Vietnamese students via my English classes and groups. I recently moved to Phom Penh, Cambodia where I will also teach English and learn about Cambodian culture. I enjoy reading, writing, intellectual conversation, public speaking, philosophy, education, animals & nature, travel, ice hockey, biking,, skating, walking & hiking, camping & backpacking, mountains & forests & lakes, peoples & cultures, social sciences & humanities in general, hard sciences, art.......... Among other languages, I have studied French, German, and Russian. I am currently excited to learn Khmer in my spare time.

Experiencia de expatriado
I work on my own unpaid education projects that focus on non-traditional, global applications.
I find Vietnamese people fascinating and quite friendly.
The hot and humid weather! I am a polar bear who enjoys sharp, fresh cold weather and I really miss snow and ice, COLD rain, and fog.
Living and working closely with German people and organizations.
I chose to live in a small village where no one spoke English in order to develop my German language skills. I loved the people, language, food, and especially exploring history, architecture, and city planning.
