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 Farah Akbari, and I'm a junior concentrating in International & Public Affairs and Applied Math-Economics. I've taken Persian classes and explored coursework in international relations and economics. I speak Swedish and Persian, and have studied Spanish. Outside of class, I love going on long walks, trying new cafés, and spending time with friends and family.

Allinllachu! This is Mario Joyo from Lima, Peru. I’m a junior 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!

Hi! My name is Sofia Vakis, and I’m a sophomore studying Physics and Economics. I speak Spanish, Greek, and Chinese. I spent this summer in Beijing and am already looking for an excuse to go back! This fall, I'm taking Chinese and a course on literary translation. When I'm not doing homework in the Blue Room, you can find me frolicking on the Main Green, eating good food in Cooking Club, or playing mahjong with friends.

Hi everyone :) I’m Vy Tran, a sophomore studying Health & Human Biology and Gender & Sexuality Studies! I speak Spanish and English, and take both Vietnamese and Korean here at Brown. I’ve spent time as a medical Spanish interpreter, and have been a Vietnamese teacher and Spanish teacher to very sweet 5-7 year olds. I love music, dancing, conversations with friends, and languages– they connect us to one another in such beautiful ways!
