Heather is so excited to be a part of the VIA community and work in Tra Vinh this year! She is currently finishing undergrad at Stanford with a B.A. in Art History and an honors focus in Education. For her, art is this magical way of communicating with one another; it’s a way to experience lives and minds completely different from one’s own. Education offers this same avenue for communication and creates a gateway to both global and individual understanding. Heather’s experiences teaching in schools and museums have been valuable, challenging, surprising, and addicting. She joined VIA to pursue her passions for educating, exploring, and meeting new people. She is thrilled to continue to grow during this new adventure!
