# About me
I am a graduate student at the University of Arizona in the Second Language Acquisition and Teaching doctoral program. I did my MA there in English as a Second Language (TESOL) program, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Creative Writing (Poetry focus) and French. My research interest is in arts integration in second language classrooms and EFL teaching. I have taught English abroad in France, Guadeloupe, Switzerland, New Zealand, South Korea, and Hungary, traveled to over 40 countries in the world, and seen 49 of the 50 states (mostly through roadtrips). Often, I can be found correcting the grammar of prospective dates and wishing that one of them would know what I meant when I call them pulchritudinous. My favorite word is decathecting--it is an action I carry out in some form every day. I am in a constant state of zugzwang. I have a very manly laugh and will never be seen without some form of facial hair (beards grow on you).# Comments

Bonjour, on s'est parlé au DevMeet.
J'ai fait ce dessin : [link]
Et ce design : [link]
Vous faites vraiment de très beaux poèmes, ça me touche vraiment. C'est très agréable, il y a beaucoup de sentiments dedans. Je ne sais pas quoi dire de plus, à part que c'est magnifique !
Bonne journée

Ah, sorry, I have been traveling all month and noly get very limited amount of time on the internet. I didn't get this until now. Sad I missed it.

That's alright! I understand. I'm sorry I haven't reviewed your poetry book, either. I got landed with two jobs out of nowhere, and now it's exam time. You can be sure that it's been circled on my to-do list, though.

Hey it's been a while since I visited your page!
I see that you're teaching in France, that's really cool.
How is it going?

Incredible! I absolutely love it here. I've been traveling the EU a ton and just really getting a chance to live and read and write and watching tons of films and TV shows that I've been wanting to catch up on for years! There is a chance I will be coming through Zurich, Switzerland for a day on my way out to a poetry workshop in Lithuania sometime towards the beginning of July...any chance you're around that area? I'd love to meet in person if it's possible

Oh I don't think it would be possible
It's at the opposite of my area and trains are way too much expensive :/
I'd love to meet you too once, hope it will be possible 1 day

Sadness. I shall keep in touch if I'm ever in the area again. Depends on whether or not I'm hired for a second year in France.

I hope they will! How ald are your students?

It's all over the map. I help out as "conversational aide" to kids from age 12-18. It's not a full time teaching position, but I like that. Gives me lots of time to travel and do other things.

I just have to say, I am reading your free poetry book - Vacancy - on Goodreads at the moment and it is giving me chills. You are an incredibly talented writer.

HUZZAH! How did you find it, through here? Are you the Jane that added it? I only ask as I get notified every time someone adds my book to a shelf of theirs and someone named Jane is the first person who is not a friend of mine to add it to a shelf haha. I very much appreciate that you are interested, and if you could, I'd love more reviews on it for that site as that is where I'm going to begin sending everyone who wants to read my work and who is not on DA.
P.S. I see you are from the UK, you coming to the devmeet on April 21st? I will be there and would love to meet up

I found it on your Twitter feed, as I stalk you there.
Huzzah indeed! I am not Jane, but I have just noticed my error and added it to my 'currently reading' shelf; I'm CJ, if you had not guessed! I haven't yet reviewed on Goodreads as although I am a deviant critic, that site is rather intimidating with its masterful and lavish reviews. But for you, I will certainly give it a go. Despite being as far from a poet as Tolkien was from textbooks (although my page will tell you otherwise) I am still, it seems, more adept at reviewing poetry. How odd.
P.S. I am not entirely sure, as I have a disobedient leg (although hitting people with my cane makes me feel an awful lot like House) and am quite far from London, in the West Midlands. Also, other deviants are intimidating...

Ah, well, sad that you can't come but I understand. And sweet about the review! Oh, and I, as well, am now stalking you on teh twitterlandsies
