| Native | USA | Hello, I'm a senior studying Education at U-M! I love to travel, cook, bake, do pottery, read, and watch movies and TV shows.

I'm an MSU alum currently working in admin at Michigan Medicine's Department of Pathology. I taught in English in Madrid from 2021-2023, but have really dropped the ball on keeping my Spanish fresh, so I'm hoping to get some help refreshing it. I've also studied French up to B1, but have fallen out of practice with it as well. My interests include: theater, anime/manga, gaming, creative writing, book clubs, travel, piano | Female | Muthu Jayatissa | |

Recovering ESL teacher working for LSA Technology Services Returned from Tokyo in 2021 with my partner and I have been finding it hard to practice Japanese without an izakaya and some drinking buddies, haha. I have too many hobbies to list, and I cycle them often enough that it's not worth keeping this updated. I'd love to learn about what you are into, and maybe it's a new hobby I'll pick up. I'm mostly an indoor kid though, and I love to craft. I'd be happy to help others with their Japanese, but I'm probably most valuable as an English resource. I just like to talk, haha. | Stefan von Werder | |
