Greeting from Ms. Josephine: Hi everyone! Based on my work-study adventures in Latin America, Europe, East Asia, and Southeast Asia, I have learned that there is a special opportunity for you every time you enter an unfamiliar environment and/or engage with fresh faces. You can discover something unexpected about yourself and the larger stories you are a part of. If your life is a puzzle board, you have the challenge of figuring out which pieces you have, which one goes where, who you want to be helped by, and whose puzzle boards you will contribute to. As a current student myself, I reflect often on what drives me to learn. Wonder, memories, conflict, confusion, delight, and hope are just a few things. I hope you encounter or continue to nourish what energizes you to learn in my guided workshops. Come learn about yourself and build new creative skills, but most importantly, have fun in the process with your classmates and me!
- (P.S. When I am not reading piles of fascinating books, practicing languages, or scribbling in my notebook, I am cooking up a storm, meeting new friends, or making music. I can't wait to find out what hobbies you like too)
