As a teaching Fellow at Universitas Gadjah Mada, it has been my pleasure and privilege to work with first-year English students and graduate students. In my final semester, I co-taught Academic Writing for graduate students and independently taught Expository Writing for English undergraduates.

Dear Shansi community, 

I hope you are well! Even though I am not yet in Yogyakarta, I have still been able to learn, teach, and grow this semester. I would love to share three snapshots on the themes of education, language, and movement from my first six months as a Fellow. ​
