“Teaching and living in difficult, often unfamiliar environments has necessitated my growth in the areas of confronting issues and being open to change. I value the opportunity to learn from mistakes by viewing them through a variety of lenses, as I pursue my personal and professional interests in education: exchange programs and reciprocal learning, project development and implementation, and the mentoring of young adults looking to improve their lives.”
Jonah has been teaching English for 14 years in both the U.S. and abroad. He has his BS in Education, with a Secondary Education/English Concentration and a Masters in Education in Curriculum and Instruction/English Concentration from Portland State University. Jonah has worked in Sierra Leone in educational efforts against gender abuse and child trafficking, and has worked in Southern Africa as the recipient of a Fund for Teachers grant to develop curriculum for high school and post-secondary education students. Jonah brings a heart for educational development in Africa, and he was a lead faculty member in Teach with Africa’s first South African-US Student Workshop/ Cultural Exchange in San Francisco in January 2010. Jonah spent part of his summer in 2010 as a TWA Faculty in Residence.
