About Jessica Sousa Borges

Oie! I'm Jéssica, and I'm from Uberlândia, a city in the southeastern part of Brazil. Back home, I'm an English teacher, but I was ready for a new challenge. That's when I decided to apply for the Fulbright FLTA program, which brought me to the U.S. to teach Portuguese and share Brazilian culture.

Aside from teaching, I love partying, hanging out with family and friends, cooking, and, of course, watching and talking about Twilight. I'm a huge Robert Pattinson fan (I might've kept it a secret until now, but not anymore!), and well... who knows? Maybe I'll even bump into him while I'm here!

Education is my true passion, and I can't see myself working in any other field. I'm excited for the next few months at Washington and Lee University, as I believe this experience will broaden my horizons and teach me so much.
