My Self-Summary

My experiences over the last few years have really shaped my life. I taught at an orphanage in South Africa for 6 weeks and just returned from teaching in Uganda for a year and a half. I love playing, watching, and coaching all kinds of sports, being with my family, and working with at-risk individuals, especially children. I like travelling and finding various adventures, both big and small.

What I’m doing with my life

I am teaching 4th grade at a small school among a bunch of farms. I am trying to get reacclimated to the area after spending a year and a half teaching in Uganda and travelling around East Africa.

I’m really good at

working with children and listening. I prefer listening to someone I care about rather than hear my own voice, but I am more than willing to share things about myself when asked or when I think it might be relevant.

The first things people usually notice about me

are my smile or my eyes. I am almost always smiling

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I love to read philosophy, historical biographies, and stories about individuals who have worked through impairments or high-risk situations.

I enjoy pretty much any kind of music other than country. My favorite is probably Ben Harper.

I am kind of a movie junky and enjoy everything from kiddy cartoon Disney movies to controversial ones that have been banned in various countries. I really enjoy most movies about sports, National Treasure, Fight Club, War Dance, and most movies with Denzel Washington.

I really like to eat, but would say pasta, Indian, and Ethiopian are my favorites

The six things I could never do without

my family, at least a good friend or 2 to bounce random thoughts off of, my camera, the unique experiences I have encountered, an at least semi-comfortable place to sleep, and my cross necklace from Ethiopia

On a typical Friday night I am

at home relaxing after an exhausting week with my 4th graders or out catching up with some friends

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I was a ballerina, with tutu and all, for Halloween in 4th grade

You should message me if

You are interested in some of the same things as me or just want to get to know me know. I am pretty laid-back and willing to talk about lots of different things with various people.
