About Me
italki teacher since Oct 27, 2021
I was born in North Vancouver, Canada, but I have moved around a lot in my life. Outside of Canada, I have lived in Japan, South Korea, and England. I have also visited France, Mexico, and several cities in the United States.
I love watching movies, especially fantasy, sci-fi and historical movies. I am a huge fan of hockey, and the Vancouver Canucks. I enjoy playing hockey, riding motorcycles, snowboarding, reading, writing, and listening to all kinds of music. And of course I really like meeting new people.

I’m qualified as a TESL Teacher-Sponsor. I have taught English in Canada, Japan, and South Korea, with students from infants to engineers and business professionals. I’ve also taught in school, corporate, and online settings.
