Host mom to three high school boys in my home
I hosted three exchange students for three years in my home when my son was in middle school.  One boy was from Sweden, one from Columbia and one from Finland. 

 Hosting these students made me very interested in international cultural exchange programs which eventually led to my desire to teach English in South Korea.  I think I can honestly say they led me to this country and I am very grateful to them for doing that for me.  I think travel and learning about new cultures in the most exciting and fun thing that anyone could possibly do.

  I was also able to travel to Chungmai in Thailand and teach English at three wonderful schools after taking a three month training program at Sarang Community Church in Seoul.   That was another highlight of my exciting career as an English teacher in Asia. 

I sincerely hope that all of my experiences and training have helped to make me the teacher that I am today.  I think about teaching almost all of the time and I am always keen to learn more and more about how to help my students achieve their personal dreams and goals in learning English.  

I hope that they will catch my love of English and want to know more and more everyday.  

It is my great hope to be able to bring this joy and enthusiasum to your school.  I would appreciate the opportunity to work together with you and the rest of the staff at your school to help your students achieve all of their English learning goals and dreams.
