Wow! It's so daunting to think about myself in an another continent, with a culture I have never heard (my ignorance) and experienced before.. But I feel extremely lively about it. The project that I am going to work on, reflects values that I highly regard, such as: motivation, discipline, and excellence. All will be implemented in a school environment in Zambia, with 150 local kids.

''Start Top School'' the organisation behind the education of these kids, will be my main focus for the coming 6 weeks. I can't wait to journal and bring some feedbacks soon. #Zambia #success #LIA

Welcome!! You can call me either Cothney or Theresa. I came back from my study abroad experience at the 'Université de Lille' in France. I will graduate this July, 2026 at the University of Leeds.

I am deeply curious. I love researching.. during my first summer as a scholar I  concentred on 'Mapping colonial subjects from the French Resistance'. I had cross cultural experiences between France and the UK while doing my research.

For my LIA, I have partnered with 'Star Top Community School', to teach in Lusaka, Zambia; today I am their LIA Champion. Ask me more if you would like to.
