Nick Johnson
Teacher
Winnipeg
Summary
I am a passionate twenty-six-year-old education student at the University of Winnipeg, with a major in English and a minor in psychology. Currently, I teach English literature full-time to Grade 7 and 8 students at Lertlah School Kanchanapisek Road, a private school in Bangkok, Thailand. My true passions lie in gastronomy, sustainability, hospitality, and agriculture. Food has always been an integral part of my life, and I am eager to connect, learn, and draw inspiration from individuals in these fields.
I aspire to merge my passions into a unique venture that combines gastronomy, sustainability, hospitality, and agriculture. With my education degree and a deep love for teaching, I aim to create a niche that promotes agricultural literacy within schools and curricula. I recognize the importance of connecting students with the sources of their food and fostering a deeper understanding of sustainable practices.
