I've always wanted to be a teacher, and I fell in love with philosophy my first semester of college. So this is my dream job. (Who else gets paid to talk to smart people about interesting things all day?!?)
When I'm not teaching, reading, or writing philosophy, you can usually find me either at the gym, reading psychology articles, or attempting to get my kids to do their chores and homework.
