About
I received by Bachelor’s of Arts in Anthropology at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky in December of 2016. In the summer of 2016, I was fortunate enough to intern at Kentucky Refugee Ministry in Lexington as a Culture Orientation Intern. I was tasked with teaching and implementing cultural topics such as Men’s Health, Transporation, Mental Health, Immigration, and Police. These classes provided the refugee clients with a foundation of how to understand and interact with these institutions and structures during the resettlement process. Recenlty, I have been given the opportunity to substitute at Kentucky Refugee Ministry (KRM) in Louiville, where I teach adult refugees English on a variety of levels. These experiencea have led me to pursue refugee studies.
I am pursuing a thesis option with a focus in refugee youths’ experiences through the acculturation and resettlement processes here in the United States.
Some fun facts about me is that I love to travel. I have been to every state on the east coast and as far west as Dallas, Texas. I have also been to Calary, Alberta, Nova Scotia, and St. John’s Bay.
