Language Ambassadors

Meet our Language Ambassadors, who play an essential role in creating positive experiences for language learning at Brown.

In the Fall of 2024, Isabella Collins, Markus Joerg, Emma Brignall, and Martina Herman are ready to work on issues relating to linguistic justice, community service and a new language journal. 

Reach out to them at language_ambassadors@brown.edu

    Hi! I’m Isabella Collins, a Junior studying IAPA and East Asian Studies. I am from Northern Ireland and speak Chinese, Irish, and Spanish. I love listening to music in different languages, watching foreign TV shows and movies, and learning about international cultures. Outside of class, you'll find me running, playing trumpet, or at Sci Li 6th floor studying.

    My name is Markus Joerg and I’m a sophomore concentrating in biology and medieval studies! I speak German and French, and am studying Italian at Brown. I’m so excited to help bring together the language learning community at Brown. In my free time I love cooking, watching movies and making art, specifically glassblowing!
