Why the Middlebury Institute?
While in Romania with the Navy, I started a nonprofit to help local orphans with educational and professional opportunities. At the Institute, I could study both practical and theoretical applications of teaching and linguistics in the foreign language classroom.

What’s next?
I’d like to return to Romania and expand my nonprofit so we can provide English instruction and funding for postsecondary educational opportunities.
