In House Legal Counsel
My path to Footprints was indirect, full of zigs and zags. I have worked, studied and traveled on five continents, making new friends and enjoying myself every step of the way.
Despite my passion for tasting Seoul’s sometimes eclectic street food, such as Dixie cups filled with silkworms, I most recently worked for large law firms in the United States and Canada. The opportunity to provide in-house legal support for a great globally-focused company like Footprints has allowed me to help others discover my passion for the rich and dynamic tradition of cultural exchange.
Footprints primarily places teachers in Asia, and for good reason. Visitors to the region invariably enjoy Asia’s quirks immensely, including Korea’s vibrant nightlife and renowned “morning calm”, not to mention the occasional sighting of a monk wearing shiny white Reeboks under a traditional orange robe. I studied Tae-Kwon Do in Korea with a member of the Olympic Tae-Kwon Do committee, a man with tree trunk legs and an 800 square foot office filled with tournament trophies. I tasted exotic foods and became accustomed to beginning and ending hiking trips among Buddha statues of all sizes. Indeed, a day or week abroad often provides life experiences matching years in one’s home country.
Helping others experience the work, travel and cultural exchange opportunities that Footprints promotes is rewarding on many levels, and I look forward to each day at the office knowing that we are helping people discover the experience of a lifetime.

“Footprints was the first company that I applied with and it will probably be the last, Footprints will be my first choice as a recruiter anywhere I want to teach. They helped me get exactly where I want to be and they always keep in touch wanting to know how you are doing and that makes you feel 100% safe. Mountain hiking here is amazing, the sights are beautiful, on the way up there are many temples to see, or if you prefer to only hike half way up, stop by the waterfall and have yourself a nice Korean meal; there are restaurants everywhere in this country. This is an experience of a life time, and I only hope that there are many other people that will be as lucky as me, and get a chance to experience this wonder of a country. I hope that if you are looking to work overseas that Footprints is your choice for a recruiter...trust me on that, they will get you were you want to go.”
