Hello everyone! My name is Nicole Keating, but you can call me Nikki! I'm 21 years old and I grew up in Washington, D.C. I love reading, especially fantasy books, and going on long walks with my sister in Rock Creek Park (it’s a really big and beautiful park in D.C.!). I just graduated from Oberlin College in the United States, where I studied Africana Studies and Psychology. While I was in college, I served as the Editor-in-Chief of the school newspaper and also sang in a band. I really enjoyed learning about people, cultures, and history, and I even did a big research project about education in Kenya. Because of that project, I applied for something called a Fulbright Grant—and I was lucky enough to get it! This means I get to come to Kenya as an English Teaching Assistant. I’ll be helping out in English classes and also learning from all of you. I’ll also be a kind of ambassador, sharing about life in the U.S. while learning about life here. I’m so excited to meet you, learn together, and share this adventure with you!
