Who I am:

I’m from Tampa, Florida! I earned my B.A. in Global Politics and Russian Area Studies from Washington & Lee University in Lexington, Virginia in May 2022 and will soon complete my M.A. in Nationalism Studies at Central European University in Vienna, Austria. Last year, I spent four months in Przemyśl, Poland volunteering with the Kharkiv and Przemyśl Project (KHARPP) to provide humanitarian assistance to Ukrainian refugees. I love traveling, meeting new people, and learning languages, and I can’t wait to do all this in Poland next year! In my free time, I enjoy cooking, reading, and going for long walks. Most of all, I love hanging out with friends, so I’m looking forward to meeting lots of amazing new people in Poland!

My Fulbright grant focuses on:

I will be (co-)teaching English classes in the Department of Modern Languages at the University of Applied Sciences in Nysa, Poland. My classes will be focused on general English speaking and writing skills.

I decided to apply for a Fulbright grant because:

I applied for the Fulbright ETA because it is the perfect opportunity to not only return to Poland and continue learning Polish, but to engage in meaningful and fulfilling work. I hope to utilize my teaching skills and passion for service to help Polish students have as enjoyable and impactful an experience studying English as I have had studying foreign languages!

After completing my Fulbright grant I would like to:

After completing the Fulbright grant, I hope to work at an international NGO and continue to improve my Russian, Ukrainian, and Polish language skills. Ultimately, I plan to pursue a career in international development.
