Whether for pleasure, athletics, arts, or education, we have traveled five continents and over 25 countries, developing an insatiable appetite to learn about the world we live in. We find that our greatest joys come from immersing ourselves into other ways of life and in doing so we strengthen our desires to teach, study, and grow as individuals, becoming better equipped for a profession where the goal is to educate our youth to become responsible, healthy, articulate and creative global citizens. We are advocates for differentiated education and inquiry based learning and believe it is our job to prepare youth of all learning styles and from all backgrounds for a complex world where they can be active participants. As international educators, we have the wonderful opportunity to work in classrooms and schools without borders and in settings that complement our teaching philosophy and fulfill our educational goals.

We are an adventurous, hardworking couple with experience in the arts and athletics as both professionals and as educators, and we are excited by the opportunities and experiences we will continue to have as international teachers. We will offer a great deal to as well as learn a great deal from a school that values high academics and extra-curricular, global mindedness, and whole school growth. We look forward to hearing from you!
