Participant
Teach In South Korea South Korea School: University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Hometown: Apple Valley, MN

After graduating from the University of Minnesota, I decided to go a new direction in how to use my degree. I have always loved to help people learn to communicate, but I no longer wanted to pursue Speech Pathology. So, I packed up my bags a shipped off to teach English as a Foreign Language in Seoul, South Korea. I am figuring out how to navigate South Korea and Korean culture, and will be sharing my experiences, failtures, comedic moments, and all that I've learn along the way!
