Currently on my Fulbright year teaching English at Eszterhazy Karoly Catholic University
Eger, Hungary
Connect with me on social media!
Welcome to my blog! I started this blog for a few reasons:
1) To stay connected to my friends, family, & loved ones back in the US
2) To create a space for my reflections (humorous, deep, insightful, obvious) as I spend a year in a brand-new country
3) To provide guidance for those interested in Fulbright/teaching English abroad/solo travelling with an enormous amount of anxiety
A little bit about me:
I grew up in New York City, where I have been deeply spoiled with fantastic food and exceptional public transportation. In 2019, I graduated from Stony Brook University with a dual degree in Psychology and Sociology, with minors in Health, Medicine, & Society and Writing & Rhetoric. I spent my time in college discovering my love of public health, social science research, mentoring first-year students, and tutoring. After studying abroad in India for a summer, I began a year with Avodah, the Jewish Service Corps. In this service corps, I spent a year at NYLAG as a paralegal, assisting older folks and individuals with disabilities navigate the public health insurance system. I spent a year with Women of Reform Judaism, developing marketing & communications strategies with a focus on a commitment to advocacy and DEI (diversity, equity, & inclusivity).
Outside of my academic and professional life, I’m deeply passionate about trying all the ice cream in a 50-mile radius, binge-watching stand-up comedy and writing my own terrible sets, and reading memoirs written by badass women.
Thank you for taking the time to be on this journey with me!
