Victoria was offered a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship (ETA) to teach in Spain. She brings a decade of experience studying Spanish, which equips her to address the challenges her English language learner students may face. Her second time in Spain, she looks forward to the opportunity Fulbright provides to spend more time immersing herself in Spanish language, culture, and history.

 

Physical and mental well-being are important to Victoria. In her free time, she dances, practices yoga, and studies art history. These interests will translate well to Spain where she can engage in discussions and connect with her community. As an aspiring neuropsychologist, her work with students will prepare her for holding difficult conversations and empathetic interactions.
