Journal Entry:

I'm Jennifer! I was born in New York City, but I now live in Columbus, Ohio. I graduated from Ohio University in 2022. I studied Spanish, Linguistics and Latin American studies. I love watching Netflix, traveling, hanging out with friends, cooking and listening to music. My family is from Ghana which is in West Africa. I grew up balancing my Ghanaian culture and the American culture at the same time, which made me open to learn more about other people's cultures as well. 

I started learning Spanish in high school just like you all and I decided to extend my Spanish education into college. It's the best decision I have ever made! Since 2018, I have learned more Spanish than I could imagine. I have learned about so many different Latin American countries and Spain and even studied abroad in Toledo, Spain! After college, I ended up moving to Albacete, Spain and taught English in a small town called Las Pedroñeras. Studying a new language broadened my perspective of life, connected me with amazing people, and has taken me all over the world. I am happy to be in Colombia and excited to see where I go next!
