About Nicholas P.

A graduate of the University of Southern California (USC Class of '13), I spent two years as an assistant language teacher (ALT) in southern Japan, helping develop English language and foreign cultural education in middle and elementary schools in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture, my second home. Returning home, I began my first retail position as a seasonal retail associate at Sur La Table, with the goal of developing personal and professional skills via the retail industry. After a year and a half, I pursued a management position while also going back to school for a Master of Arts in Teaching (K-12 ESL), in order to develop my management and teaching skills. I'm a passionate believer in the power of travel and the history, influences, and culture of food! I thrive working with people on a team and my curiosity fills my tiny bookshelf. I hope to use my training as an ESL teacher to help English Language Learners experience and impact their surroundings to the fullest.I'm also a practicing writer, blogger, and photographer and would like to learn how to use those interests professionally in publications.
