Welcome to My Journey in International Education

Exploring cultures, impacting lives, and embracing new horizons in global education.

Hello! I’m an international teacher with a passion for cultural exploration.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching in diverse countries such as South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Libya, Russia, and China. I find joy in every unique cultural experience, from cuisine and climate to socio-economic insights and volunteering. Teaching has given me the chance to connect deeply with people from various backgrounds, save money, and even indulge in some travel adventures.

Those who know me often say I have a big heart and a genuine enthusiasm for helping others. I believe that social responsibility is essential, and I strive to foster this mindset in my students. I regularly volunteer and support causes that align with my values, as I feel it’s important to live what I teach.

Achievements and Current Projects

One of my proudest accomplishments is co-authoring a book on maximizing college admissions opportunities. I’m currently working on another publication, focusing on the benefits of community colleges, which I hope to share soon.

Currently, I’m a public school teacher in Beijing, making a difference in the lives of my students. Alongside teaching, I’m working on books and designing curricula aimed at wider audiences. My latest project, the “Joe Klunder Education Challenge,” is a free initiative to inspire young learners to explore literature and critical thinking.

Future Aspirations

Looking ahead, I am excited to pursue more opportunities in international education, where every day presents a chance to connect with new cultures, solve complex challenges, and travel. Even simple experiences, like visiting a local market, can be an adventure. Through these experiences, I’m learning life skills like minimalism, navigating foreign bureaucracies, and adapting to various lifestyles.

Feel free to reach out via email if you’d like to connect or if I can be of help. I’m always open to mentoring and sharing my journey with those interested.
