About Me
Introduction:
Hi, I'm Lisa!
I'm very excited to take the next step in pursuing my dream of teaching abroad. From a very young age I began playing "Teacher" and dreaming of travels abroad, and through my time in school I retained these interests by tutoring, mentoring, and exposing myself to a variety of languages and cultures. After a few years of working close to home, newly armed with training and management experience, it's time for me to venture out and pursue my dreams. Can you help me make it happen?
I look forward to hearing from you!
Lisa
