Do you have a favorite quote to share?

"Never doubt that a small group of committed people can make a difference. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
-Margaret Mead, Cultural Anthropologist

What is your interest in PeaceWork?

To meet with other peacemakers and peacebuilders, and to work together on projects that promote peace and understanding in the world.
To learn how to integrate peace education in my role as a language/ESOL teacher.

How long have you been involved in PeaceMaking?

Last year, while I was a graduate student at the School for Internatonal Training, I helped in starting a student group called PACE (Peace, Advocacy, and Change in Education). From this group, I became more interested in learning about integrating peace and education together.

Are you currently involved in any non-profit or volunteer work?

I currently teach ESOL to adults at an adult literacy center. As an undergraduate, I worked at two non-profit international exchange programs.

What is your Passion? Your Purpose?

To teach others and to learn from others.

How do any products or services you offer contribute to making the world more peaceful?

I love teaching a multicultural, diverse classroom. I hope that students learn not only about American culture from me, but they learn from each other about their own countries and cultural backgrounds. I hope that this will help in challenging their misperceptions and stereotypes, and can make the world more peaceful.

Is there anything else that you'd like us to know about you?

I have a twin sister.
