Currently, Alyson teaches English at a vocational school in Germany and particularly enjoys connecting with students in her English Chitchat Afterschool Club. In her spare time, she finds joy in collecting stories from strangers abroad for her passion project, The Red Book Projekt. She sees her Fulbright year as an opportunity to enhance her communication and intercultural skills, paving the way for a successful career in dentistry. Following Fulbright, Alyson is excited to announce her admission into dental school this fall.
