Bio
Hey there! I'm Kristin—a Scorpio, born in 1985, hailing from sunny California. I earned my B.A. in American Studies from San Francisco State University in 2011. Then, I crossed the pond and snagged an M.A. in Trans-Atlantic Studies from the University of Birmingham in 2014. More recently, in June 2023, I graduated with an M.A. in Applied Linguistics (with a TESOL focus) from Texas A&M University - Commerce.
I grew up in the Antelope Valley, nestled in the high desert of Southern California. Post-grad studies took me to Birmingham, after which I lived and worked in Cork, Ireland, for two years. After being laid off in 2016, I set off on adventures in Melbourne, Australia, for a year, followed by a year in Auckland, New Zealand. From 2018 to 2022, I taught EFL at a public elementary school in Daejeon, South Korea. Now, I’m settled in Richmond, VA, working as an ESOL teacher at a local elementary school.
When I'm not teaching, you'll find me devouring books, binge-watching TV shows, catching the latest movies or theater performances, and jamming out to my favorite tunes.
