Hello NOVA friends, I have a new paper in progress and need a little help from a Northern Virginia local person who is foreign born. If you are an immigrant to this country, have been here for at least one year but were raised somewhere else, please contact me.

Reston or Herndon area ideal.

I'd like to get together on three dates and briefly interview you about your home country, the adjustment to the US, and other insights you have on the immigrant experience. The meetings can be brief (15 minutes) or we can hang out, schedules allowing.

I can promise absolute confidentiality according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The paper is for my master's degree -- please support my education!
