You are a solid fit for your target schools. My only real concern in reading your profile is your Work Experience, as it seems to show you jumping around from place to place, so a logical explanation for this is necessary. I am also confused as to why you are doing an internship now at age 27 when not in school? However, I do think the teaching opportunity in Lebanon would be a really great added element to your application.

You are a diverse candidate that offers the classroom a unique perspective on many levels. You also seem to be well-rounded given your volunteering/extracurricular. Translating all of this that differentiates you into the application/interview/recommendations will be the critical next step in this process and you should be prepared to put countless hours into this step.

Best of luck-
