About Me

Since graduating from the University of Florida in 2003, I have been in and out of the publishing industry and the English-language education (ESL, EFL) field.

I moved out of New York City in late 2007 and reside now in Taipei, Taiwan.

While here, I'm learning Mandarin and working as an English teacher for adult language learners while freelancing as a materials developer, writer, and editor for companies and publishers abroad.

Currently, I'm working towards a Master's degree in applied linguistics and hope to complete it in June 2009.

Me and Travel

Traveling is great for the soul -- it pushes you to your extremes and shows you possibilities. So, I've been to a few places, and plan on going to many more. Take a look at where I've been, and where I want to go.
