Oh, the places you'll go

I've traveled pretty extensively in China, where I currently live. I've taken the Trans-Siberian Railroad from Beijing to Moscow. I've traveled through much of Southeast Asia and Europe. And I just saw the Grand Canyon for the first time this summer!

Oh, the places you'll teach

I've taught at universities on the east and west coast, in Taiwan and now in China—and, of course, Nebraska.

If you weren't a teacher…

I'd probably be working in Washington D.C. in foreign policy.

	This is me and my students at the migrant school where I volunteer in Nanjing, China teaching English. The students at this school are the children of migrant laborers. They do not have the money or residence documents to go to the regular public schools. I do not know how successful I am, but am told that just being there means a lot to the kids.
Here I am in Dunhuang, Ganzu Province, China on the ancient Silk Road getting ready to climb the largest sand dunes in China.
	Here is one of me, my siblings, daughter, niece and nephew on the top of the Pyramid of the Sun in Mexico. I was there last summer with our NWU students in Queretaro.
And one of me and my husband and daughter on the London Eye this summer with Parliament in the background.
	This is me and NWU's Rhodes Scholar Trang Ho at Oxford when I visited her this summer.
