Do you ever wonder who the people are that teach the children of diplomats and international aid workers when they’re assigned to developing nations overseas? Well, I’m one of them. I’ve spent over 14 years in education and 6 of them internationally. 

My students are quite literally the future senators, prime ministers and ambassadors of tomorrow. As a Government and History teacher my focus has been on teaching these future leaders to think critically and question everything. 

As a student of History, languages, and culture I’ve not been content to learn vicariously. I’ve studied in 4 countries, worked in 5 and visited 32. 

For the show, I bring first-hand observations of the consequences of C.I.A. actions to the rest of the world, as well as the ability to explain nuances within complex situations.
