   In terms of personal characteristics, my personality is laid back, casual and enthusiastic which I believe helps to put a class at ease and set a tone of relaxed comfort.
   I'm articulate, communicative and very much enjoy the process of finding the best route to take with an idea or concept that would lend itself to be most readily understood. I greatly enjoy that spark of understanding and comprehension that comes over someone when an idea is fully conveyed.

"When I decided to go to China last summer, I knew that I didn't want to do a typical tourist vacation. This program allows you to really 'live' in China, rather than 'visit' China. Getting to know a small group of Chinese students over the course of the program creates a very strong bond. The experience is both fun and challenging, but you will find that the most difficult thing is to say goodbye"
