Hi, I am an amateur comedian and writer from Port Hope, Ontario, Canada. I graduated from Carleton University with a Combined Honours Degree in Classics, Religion and History. Not long after graduation, I went to Prague to do a TEFL certification at TEFL Worldwide Prague. I just finished working in Prague, Czech Republic as an English Language Teacher and am now back home looking for freelance writing jobs. I enjoy writing both fiction and non-fiction and am interested in comedy, fitness, history, literature and religion. I love teaching, but I love writing more. I hope you all enjoy my work.
