About me

I have lived over 15 years outside of my home country and state of Minnesota, I have Viking blood.  I worked and taught English in the Philippines, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan but mostly in Ukraine.  I love teaching in different cultures but when in the U.S. I love working with ESL students. I met my husband in Almaty, KZ so this is a place of romance for me. I LOVE the country of Kazakhstan and working with the future of Kazakhstan, my dear university students.

My birthday is on 8 August

Interests

family, friends, good literature, grandparents stories from my students, history about ancestors from norway, music
