I’ve been blessed to be an educator in five countries, over a decade and a half, to some of the best people in the world – children. And, I’ve worked with the absolute best teachers and administrators international education has to offer. I want to bring this experience back home to the United States, preferably in the role of a coordinator or administrator.
