About Activity

I am a NS from the island of Barbados (member country of the Commonwealth of Nations), with international working experience having studied and then worked for six years in New York City after having worked in Barbados. I taught EFL English in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala for three years beginning in 2015 and while there I also taught all aspects of English to 5th and 6th grades at a Private School for one year. My love of travel and teaching took me to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where I spent three years in the public school system teaching 4th graders English, Math and Science (2 years) and 9th graders English Literature (1 year).

Interests: hiking, reading and researching

I am Self-employed.
