Hello, everyone. My name is Jen and I am currently from Gwinn, Michigan. Growing up I got to visit and live in countries, from Panama to Iceland to Ghana. I loved getting to meet new people and learn about different cultures. This year, I had the opportunity to join the Peace Corps and come to Morocco. I have been in Morocco for six months and have had so much fun learning Arabic and learning about the culture here. I live in a small city in the central part of Morocco. I love volunteering and teaching English to students of all ages. I help my students learn English and they help me learn Arabic!
I have had many jobs, but my favorite jobs have been teaching and being a social worker. I love helping people learn new things and get the resources they need to help them be successful. I also love learning new things myself! Recently, I went back to school to get a degree in accounting, so I can help people with their money in the future. In my free time, I love spending time outdoors. Some of my favorite things to do are hiking, camping, kayaking, and cross-skiing. I am very excited to share my journey with you. I look forward to learning all about you too!
