Description

Hello! I am a former Kindergarten teacher of eight years in USA. I grew up in a small country town where my family and I had animals (cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, chickens) and a vegetable garden. This past year, I quit my job and moved to Spain to work in the Spanish school systems. I am in search of what career path to take next - I'm open to new possibilities. Hobbies of mine include reading, hiking, boardgames, the beach, animals, philosophical talks, music, being outdoors in general, and exploring the world! I enjoy learning new cultures and embrace new experiences. I have spent 8 months in Madrid, Spain.
