I’m Vanessa, a Michigander who’s transplanted to Seattle. I work for a local software company.
Before coming to Seattle, I:
- Spent several months spending the majority of my savings from Korea backpacking around Southeast Asia.
- Was a public school English teacher in Daejeon, South Korea. I also volunteered at a couple local no-kill animal shelters.
- Served as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Philippines. There, I worked worked doing resource development at an elementary school, co-taught English classes and developed library resources at a provincial high school, and coordinated a region-wide teacher training program.
- Earned a degree in vocal music education and worked as a substitute teacher.
Vanessa, I love you…but you really should consider getting your teeth fixed before you take off from the States. And maybe trim the whiskers a bit. xo
