I am a UW LSJ alumni currently working as an assistant language teacher for the JET Program. I enjoy running, reading, knitting, and eating! I was motivated to apply for the Fulbright US Student Program as an ETA because I wanted to continue my journey of cultural reciprocity through a program that aligns with my values and interest in teaching. I aspire to attend law school in the future and believe that a diversified experience abroad will help me to work with individuals from varied backgrounds in my future career.
Tips
Always ask for imput from others on your application. Whether it be your advisors, friends, or family, each person can give you something new to think about, or reveal one thing that may need revising.
