Helinek, Jennifer Joan, Williams College, Massachusetts

My name is Jennifer Helinek, and I was born and raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania.  I studied Comparative Literature at Williams College, and last year I worked as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant in the Czech Republic.  Falling in love with one Slavic language (Czech) led me to fall for another (Russian).  After my time in Vladimir, I’d like to pursue some combination of Slavic Studies and International Relations.  In my free time I love reading, watching sports, and singing.  I can’t wait to join the team in Vladimir this fall!
