MY INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE
I grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee near the Great Smoky Mountains. I moved to Jackson, Tennessee to attend Union University where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in French Language and Culture with a minor in Spanish Language and Culture. The spring semester of my sophomore year, I studied abroad in Aix-en-Provence in the south of France. After graduation from university, I moved to Santiago, Chile to be an English Professor in a branch of la Universidad Católica. Next I set up a life just outside of Seoul, South Korea teaching English at DYB Language Academy - 최선어학원. Upon completing my contract, I left Asia to study Modern Standard Arabic at Qalam wa Lawh Language Institute - مركز قلم و لوح - in Rabat, Morocco.
I’ve had the privilege of working or studying on five continents and have learned from my experiences in all of the places I’ve called home. Take a look at the video below to see a brief visualization of my international experience.
