Katrien Weemaes is assisting in teaching English at SMAN 1 Matauli Pandan, North Sumatra, as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA).

After graduating from Bucknell University, Katrien earned a double major in economics and environmental studies and a minor in dance and management. Post-graduation, Katrien gained experience in government consulting, deepening her understanding of supporting underserved populations through local governance.

Indonesia’s unique blend of artistic expression, economic growth, and community resilience drew her in. She’s excited to explore the country’s distinct social, cultural, environmental, and economic landscape. During her ETA journey, Katrien eagerly anticipates engaging in cultural activities and forming meaningful connections within the local community.
