My Story
We are all stories…
I grew up, studied, lived, and worked in the US, Poland, France, Belgium, Indonesia, and Norway. Being on the move from a very young age, being raised bilingually in the US and Poland, attending schools and universities around the world, and coming from a multigenerational migrant family gave me first-hand experience on what it means to be a multilingual learner of migrant background.
