Greta Rohrer

Hi there, my name is Greta Rohrer and I am a recent graduate from the University of Vermont. I have a Bachelor's degree in Sociology with minors in Mathematics and Psychology. I have four years of experience teaching in a classroom and loved it, and I would love to continue this passion in a different country. I am particularly interested in Bangkok, Thailand because of its cultural values and diversity.
