About me

So, this is me, one official name and a number of nick names, but please call me Trang! :-) Welcome to my blog!

I got an MA degree in ESL in 2010 and did a number of things that I really appreciated doing before coming back to America for my doctoral degree, i.e. Taught college writing for a year in the States after graduation, saved enough to travel for a few months in Europe and in South East Asia, and taught English for a hotel and resort group in Vietnam.

I love traveling as you can tell, to learn as I go about different cultures and peoples. And I do love nature and national parks. I am an outdoor person but I can also stick on my desk for 3 nights in a row (used to do so when I wrote my MA thesis) if I have to.

I deeply enjoyed being a teacher of English, but as I realized my passion could be extended, I decided to go for an educational technology degree. I believed when I decided for it that this would broaden my job horizon (since I never see myself doing one single job for the rest of my life) a great deal and support my original interest in English language teaching technologically. Sure it has! My current job as a graduate assistant is to work on our MOOCs projects, support the Joint Master program and to teach linguistics courses at the same time. I am very grateful to my LDT professors for the opportunity to do all these.

My next career goal includes working in the academic field. I want to become a professor, preferably in a dynamic, multicultural university environment.

Thanks for reading!
