About me

Industry	Non-Profit
Location	New York City, New York, United States
Introduction	I currently teach ESL in the south Bronx. I'm in the process of collecting histories of my students and compiling them along with the interesting stories they tell. Before teaching English, I got two Master's degrees in Belgium: European Studies and Social and Cultural Anthropology. Before that, I taught preschool and before that I studied Family Studies for my undergrad. I'm interested in the immigrant experience and in particular the family dynamics during and after immigration.
