Guten tag from Germany! 🇩🇪 I’m currently writing to you in the city of Cologne – a city known for liberalism, Kölsch, and the massive gothic Cologne Cathedral. I’m also here to do a fourth Panels & Me project, where I’m partnering with local nonprofits and a Ukrainian school to help around 40 Ukrainian refugee […]
Important Update: This was a mid-March post. Fulbright suspended the program due to the global COVID-19 crisis at the same time, so the draft ended up in my inbox. Browsing back, the draft preserved my excitement for the start of the year, therefore I thought I’d take you back in time with me. Also, the […]
Hello strangers (or am I the stranger?). It’s been a while – practically a year and half. Well, I’m back to make up for lost times. Let’s get back to posting at least once a week, shall we? This post is about my excuse for being absent and a sneak peak at what I have […]
Why, hello everyone! It sure has been a while. For the past few weeks, a little project known as PAM has been taking over my schedule… and heart. This video provides a beautiful snapshot of the PAM project. We showed it at our showcase event last Saturday night, where the kids from all 4 project […]
Yesterday, on a Sunday afternoon, I said good-bye to my 8th grade kiddos (officially high school big kiddos) on their very last field trip. My students are all, of course, special in their own way, but this particular group of kids were there since I began my work with youth three years ago. They were […]
Did everyone have a nice Memorial Day weekend? I spent this weekend to design a home for the Panels & Me project. After debating whether to create an entire new website or webpage for it, I decided create the latter. You can view it by clicking on the tab labeled, PANELS & ME, on the […]
Hello everyone! For this week’s post, I thought I’d give you sneak peak at the Panels & Me project in Saigon. Secondly, since I’ll be in Vietnam for the project, I thought I’d also share some travel content ideas that I have for the blog so far. Think: Vietnamese coffee shops, day-trips to surrounding countries, and […]
I kept saying this statement all year, and I will keep repeating it now: Kiddos grow up too fast. My students, who I’ve worked with since they were in 6th grade, are going off to high school next year! The school year ends soon, so to send them off on this new chapter in their […]
Pre-Post Spiel: In a personal effort to improve at blogging, photography, and time management, I am pleased to announce that my goal is to upload a new post each week! At first, I thought that posting daily on Instagram and monthly on the website was enough, but I think that I need to pay attention […]
I like to consider myself as the “Girl on the Go,” because I don’t really have an office space. For work, I’m constantly on the field to different schools and organizations, so I have to create my own office space everywhere I go. After experimenting a bit, I finally found a way to make my […]
