Q: How long have you been in
Ecuador/worked at Casa de Fe?
Q: What did you do before you came
here?
A: I was a foreign English teacher
in Taiwan for 9 years, with a heavy dose of music, theatre, and kung fu on the
side.
Q: Why did you come here?

acquainted with my husband's country of origin, and to take a little break to figure
out what was next. Casa de Fe was next.

Fe?
A: I work full-time at the school.
I'm the supplies coordinator, administrative assistant, an English
teacher, and the music/drama teacher.
Q: What is your favorite thing about
Ecuador/your job?
A: My favorite thing about Ecuador
is its biodiversity - more specifically how in just one little country, you can
travel to snow-capped mountains, cloud forests, rain forests, and the beach.
I'm also so thankful for the opportunity to get to know my best friend
better by seeing the country he grew up in.
For my job, I like seeing the
third-graders take pride in their English introductions, I like leading morning
brain gym aerobics, and I love seeing kids "get something" that they've
had to work for.
