I am a French and Spanish teacher who strives to be empathetic and open-minded and who values the building of friendships, the sharing of ideas and humor, and the spreading of positive energy. I have always been interested in travel, languages, cultures, different worldviews, and ways of life. To me, being a global citizen means listening, caring, and being committed to lifelong learning, self-awareness, and compassion for fellow humans, animals, and the natural world.
