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.
