Autobiography

  • Visiting Istanbul and seeing the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia
  • Drinking Turkish tea while watching the Black Sea
  • Celebrating Ramadan with my students while learning about their traditions
  • Getting to teach not just English, but also about my own culture in the U.S.

Why do I love sharing my journey?

I believe that stories connect us. Even though we might live in different parts of the world, we have so much in common. I want to inspire students—whether in Türkiye, the U.S.,or anywhere else—to be curious about the world, travel when they can and learn from others.

I’d love to answer your questions and hear what you’re curious about! What would you like to know about Türkiye, my travels or life abroad?
