Hello! I am a first year M.A. student in the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, where I am studying Southeast Asian literature, history, and languages. I previously taught ESL in Northern Thailand from 2015-2020, and High School English in my native state of New Jersey. I completed my B.A. in English at Rutgers University-Newark and an M.Ed in International Teaching from Framingham State University. In my free time I enjoy reading, writing fiction, studying languages, and skateboarding.
