I stopped working in these jobs after a year, realizing I wanted more human interaction.  It was then that my path led me to teaching in a traveling boarding school.  I taught advanced subjects in math and science like physics and calculus as well as the rest of math and science courses down to 8th grade.  Many of my students had learning differences requiring me to learn the latest teaching techniques.  It was an amazing program in which I had the same group of kids for a year and we traveled around the world.  The school was fully accredited and we traveled to places like Cuba, Alaska, Costa Rica, and Bolivia.  We had amazing adventures hacking our way through the thick Amazon Rain Forest camping next to Anaconda and Crocodile infested lakes for days.  We took small 4-seater “Bush” planes out to the barren frozen tundra of Alaska staying with an Inuit tribe in -30 degree Celsius weather and learning their culture for over two weeks in the coldest month of the year.  We were also one of the few educational groups from America allowed to go to Cuba and see the vibrant and amazing culture there.  I loved the different cultures we were able to experience.  We made sure our trips went off the “tourist path” staying in family homes and truly immersing ourselves in the culture.

It was during this time that I got my training in teaching through active learning.  After teaching for several years, I became an Assistant Dean and later the business manager.  I helped develop curriculum, was educated and taught teenage crisis intervention and managed over a two million dollar budget.  It was during this time that I was on the Fire Department and Search and Rescue.  While I was using pre-hospital medicine, I wanted to learn more.  So I went back to school.
