Viviana G.

Participant
Teach in Thailand Thailand School: Westminster College, UT Hometown: Grand Junction, Colorado

I taught kindergarten and primary English in Sukhothai, Thailand from January-October 2021. My Bachelor's degree from Westminster College is in English with an emphasis in creative writing. I have a passion for language, literature, and travel and have been honored to share these with my students.
