Hello! My name is Hailey Hesseltine, and I’m excited to share my journey with you! I’m currently living in Ordu, Turkey, where I teach English at a university. I’m 24 years old, and I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas. I studied psychology in Texas and later moved to Hawai’i to study education. In 2021, I visited Turkey for the first time, and I loved it so much that I came back! I’m now teaching over 70 students from all over Turkey, helping them practice their English speaking skills. My work is also connected to international education, where I help students from different countries learn and experience new cultures. That’s why I’m so excited to be in Turkey, where I can be part of a global community of learners.
