Hey! I’m Emma Brignall and I’m a junior concentrating in IAPA. At Brown I've taken courses in Chinese, Arabic, and Latin. I spent this past summer interning at a human rights organization in Taiwan and hope that I have the chance to return! Outside of class, I enjoy ballet, writing, and a good iced latte.
My name is Martina Herman and I’m a senior studying Comparative Literature and Literary Arts. I was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina and speak Spanish, Portuguese, and German. I worked for a Latinamerican Literature Festival in Berlin this summer and it was a great experience. In my free time I love being out in nature, dancing, and getting to know new cultures.
Hi! My name is Farah Akbari, and I’m a sophomore concentrating in International & Public Affairs and Business Economics. This fall, I’m taking Persian this fall and exploring classes in international relations and economics. I speak Swedish, Persian, and have studied Spanish. Outside of class, I love baking, going on long walks, and spending time with friends and family.
Allinllachu! This is Mario Joyo from Lima, Peru. I’m a sophomore studying Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Besides speaking Spanish, I’m currently learning Japanese and Portuguese at Brown. I taught myself Quechua for about a year and recently used it on a trekking route in the Colca Canyon. On slower days, I like crocheting, swimming, and binge-watching series. Feel free to reach out!
