I was born and raised in Iowa. After 12 years working at a large manufacturing company in the IT department my job, among others, was outsourced. I decided to put my teaching degree to use and moved to Texas where I passed the TEXES exams. After travelling to Mexico several times, I checked into getting a teaching job in Mexico and applied for a job at a private school. I got the job and I will teach 5th grade English starting in August 2009. I am excited!
I joined expat.com on 20 July 2009.
