Hi there! My name is Mariana and I'm from Uberlândia, Brazil. I've been working as a Foreign Language Teaching Assistant (FLTA) at the University of Iowa since August 2021.

I decided to create this space to share my experiences as a student and instructor in the US. Also, to show what the program is about for those who may be interested in applying for the same opportunity.

The page is going to be uploaded throughout the year. Last update: 07 nov. 2021.
