I am a regular mixing bag
of experiences it's kind of hard to answer in a specific way !I was
born in Taos New Mexico but moved from the age of one to Bolivia ,
Peru, Massachussetts and eventually landed in El Salvador only to leave
for Ecuador, England, France, and so on. I am the quintessential Third
Culture Kid, travelling everywhere and always searching for new things
to find out about and experience. This of course has given me a diverse set of experiences in work as well. I have worked as a teacher, an editor in an indigenous Radio, a press release writer, and now as the Managing Editor for the k-12 Channel.
