About

I’m an American who was born in South Africa with 11 years of experience teaching in California, South Korea, and Japan. I have ran my website and online store TALKS EATS JAMS and worked on an online web series Tekkin Taiyou as the director, photographer, editor, and actor. I have been working as a teacher for the past 11 years with children and adults with disabilities, and ESL students in California, South Korea, and Japan. I continue to teach in elementary schools in Tokyo as an English teacher as well as consulting adults in how they should speak for their business meetings, presentations, trade shows, and events. I am confident in my abilities to follow the code of conduct from the IPSO in order to help the writers and authors fact check, maintain credibility, respect privacy, all the while providing top notch news and content.
