Ibu Amy

I grew up in the United States. After graduating from Cornell University with an undergraduate degree in English and Spanish literature, I travelled to Spain to pursue a career as an English teacher. Upon returning to the United States, I completed my Master’s Degree in Education at Temple University in 2014 and gained experience teaching from primary through university level. After a spontaneous trip to Indonesia, I was captivated both by the rich culture and the gorgeous tropical environment. I have lived in Yogya for the last five years with my husband and young daughter. On the weekends I love to get out for a hike, enjoy a good book, or play violin
