Hello, fellow Wikipedians. My name is Jarod. I am originally from [[Baltimore, Maryland]], but currently live in [[Austin, Texas]]. My professional background is in language teaching and international education.

== Education and Professional Background ==

I received my B.A. in French from [[Claremont McKenna College]] in May 2008. I spent my junior year studying in  [[Dakar]], [[Senegal|Sénégal]] and [[Marseille]], [[France]]. I have taught at the [[New York Military Academy]], [[Amherst Regional High School (Amherst, Massachusetts)|Amherst Regional High School]], [[Belchertown High School]], and Strive Prep - RISE. I completed my semester of student teaching at [[Brighton High School (Brighton, Massachusetts)|Brighton High School]] in the [[Boston Public Schools]]. During the 2009-2010 school year, I completed my M.Ed. in Secondary Education - French at the [[Lynch School of Education]] at [[Boston College]]. In 2014, I graduated with a Master of Arts in the International Education Management program at [[Monterey Institute of International Studies]]. I currently work as an international student advisor for Texas Global at The University of Texas at Austin.

==Editing interests==

Most of my contributions to Wikipedia are gnome-like, using the random article link to find subs and make minor edits to articles. I try to restrict my more extensive editing and writing to [[Francophone]] culture, [[literature]], [[critical theory]] and [[literary criticism]], [[education]], some [[philosophy]], and articles about [[academia]]. Through my interests in [[comparative literature]], [[language]], and [[culture]],  I hope to branch out into [[Africa|African]] and [[Middle East|Middle Eastern]] subjects. Articles that I have started include [[Senegambia Confederation]], [[Them (novel)]], [[Randy Steven Kraft]], [[Baltimore Polytechnic Institute]].
