About Me
Washington Monument
This is my second year teaching at SIS. I have enjoyed living in Korea so far and have been pleasantly surprised by everything it has to oer. While you may think I live at school I do enjoy activities outside of school. One of my favorite things to do is to travel and I have a life long goal of traveling to the same number of countries as my age. I am currently at the same number of countries as my age, unfortunately time is constantly moving forward. In addition to travel I love to play and watch soccer and I am currently coaching Girls Varsity Soccer. I look forward to getting to all of you. -Mr. Lopez
