<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color:black"> Having just completed my Master of Science degree in Environmental Science, I would like to teach Environmental Education (EE). EE is essential
as a foundation for sustainable development. I believe my accumulated knowledge and education will have the most social benefit by educating students, and the populace, of the importance of environmental issues relating to human development. Additionally,
I think EE is under-represented in the field of education on a global scale. I believe EE should integrate social and scientific disciples, architecture and urban planning, public policy, and economics in order to be effective.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color:black"> I would like to teach in Vietnam for a number of reasons: its stage of economic growth and development; my interest of international development
and climate change; its climate and culture; and the kindness of the Vietnamese people I met at SPEA. My particular interest is in rapidly developing countries, and their unique opportunity to create a sustainable infrastructure during their early development.
I have an understanding of Vietnam’s cultural and economic development, and did a number of research projects on Vietnam in graduate school. I have rudimentary knowledge of the Vietnamese language from a year of classes, meeting with Vietnamese language partners,
and independent study. I have a passion for teaching and tutoring, while both of my parents were teachers.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color:black"> I am particularly interested in teaching in Hanoi, because of its universities and intellectual heritage; as well as reuniting with the SPEA
alumni who reside there. Please let me know of any opportunities or needs I can fulfill in Vietnam. I hope to be arriving in Hanoi in the middle of July.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
