Originally from Portland, Oregon in the USA, I now live in Taiwan.  I have been teaching English for over a decade now, and am fully licensed in Washington DC.  I feel lucky to be part of an educational environment here at Jhong Fu Elementary School, where I do my best to use all tools available to support the wonderful students, and continue to grow as an educator.
