Hello everyone! My name is Victoria and I am a rising junior attending Binghamton University, majoring in Chinese Studies, English, and Philosophy. I am based in New York, but am originally from Canada. I love the diversity of New York's 5 boroughs and of its pop culture, as different cultures borrow from each other and adapt to new environments. I visited China in the summer of 2019, but have not been to any other East Asian countries. Currently, I'm finishing an online workshop for my English Teaching assistant position this upcoming fall, and hope to be teacher/professor in the future. It's exciting to be able to audit this class because I'm very interested in learning about how teachers are integrating new knowledge, technologies, and cultures into their classrooms everyday, which I find inspiring and feel is crucial to the growth of society.
