However, in February 2020 an opportunity arised to take a teaching job in Detroit. Now, I teach second grade at Detroit Leadership Academy, a charter school in Detroit, Michigan.

When I am not teaching, I love to exercise, go hiking, travel, and watch Netflix. These are the things that keep me going every day. My passion for exercising comes from the ability to release anxiety and stress. I do anything from cross training to yoga.I am an avid Binge watcher. I like anything from Sci-Fi to a romantic comedy. I love to travel and hike. Some of the fun places I have been include Portland, Israel, and Aruba. If I am not doing any of the above, then I am usually spending time with family and friends.
