"For three years I studied the Korean language with AMES, which has helped me more deeply integrate into my host community during my Fulbright grant year. I was also able to take classes on Korean culture and on second language pedagogy — classes that have also helped me be both a better teacher and a better cultural ambassador during my time here in South Korea. Additionally, the wonderful AMES faculty has been so supportive of my professional pursuits, and I am so grateful to have mentors that truly care about my success. I am thankful to AMES for providing me with classes, faculty, and opportunities where I could engage with South Korea's history, culture, and language."
