My name is Katherine Mann. I am a 2005-2006 Fulbright teaching assistant to I-lan county, working in Datong elementary school. I graduated from Brown Univerisity in Rhode Island, USA this June with a BA in Visual Arts and a BA in Education Studies (concentrating in child development). I hope to utilize both of these areas this year while teaching ESL in Taiwan by blending both creativity and an understanding of child development in the classroom.

As a biracial Taiwanese American, I have a deep connection to the island. I hope that I will learn a lot about myself, my heritage, teaching, and children while I am here!
