“I’ll teach English in Phan Rang-thap Cham City, Vietnam, through the context of food and sustainability – from food production to culinary arts or marketing; whatever is interesting and most useful to the students as I help them prepare for important national exams,” Maupin said. “I’ve grown plants almost everywhere I’ve lived, and I’m excited to work with the school and put my horticulture and English skills to use.”
