At the beginning of August, I began my journey as the elementary assistant principal at Shekou International School (#sisrocks) in Shenzhen, China. Taking a step back, but not too far back, here is a little background into my story as an educator.

After four years of teaching in the United States, at the age of 25, I decided to make the trek overseas into the world of international schools. For the last 13 years I have spent time teaching in Ecuador, Thailand, Myanmar, Korea, and now China. I have taught at the elementary, middle, and high school levels and cherish the many experiences at each and every place. My last two years in Korea I was fortunate to serve as the Dean of Students in a K-12 international school and got my first taste of administration. From that point on, I knew that serving as an administrator would guide my journey and continue to push me forward in the world of international education.

Reflecting on stories from my past, thinking about experiences in my present, and looking at my hopes for the future, I hope that through this blog I am able to continue to share my story with the world.
