Education and Training
I attended high school in Boulder, Colorado. In addition, I moved to Basel, Switzerland, and traveled throughout Europe extensively embracing a “self taught” education program of learning languages, visiting a variety of important historical and cultural venues, and perhaps most importantly meeting an immense variety of individuals; artists, authors, scholars, and many others who provided me with special tutoring and mentorship.
My fascination and love of languages began during my time in Europe. Since then I have embraced the learning of foreign languages wherever I travel; in particular Yup’ik Eskimo, Thai, German, and French. I also posses some knowledge of Japanese, Chinese, Spanish and Turkish. The ability to communicate in a foreign language is not only academic and communicative, but also enables one to express oneself in different ways. As for English, I enjoy teaching in an effort to help students progressively develop his/her education and progress with education and career goals.
In addition, I have indeed attended academic educational arenas:
General Education Diploma (Boulder, Colorado, U.S.A.)
University of New Mexico (Albuquerque, New Mexico U.S.A.)
University of Alaska (Bethel, Alaska U.S.A.)
TOEFL EnglishTeachingCourse (Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai Thailand) - pending
