I was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. I graduated with a degree in Social Work from Franciscan University. After graduating, I moved to Magadan, Russia where I studied the Russian language and taught English to children and adults of all ages. During this time I earned my TEFL certificate through International TEFL academy in Chicago.Through this experience and my time spent in Magadan, I discovered a love of teaching and working with children and a love for Russian language and culture. After two years in Magadan, I am so excited to start working in Moscow and begin this next chapter of my life with ENS!
