Joseph Dorion
Joseph's Program
Joseph "Joey" hails originally from sunny Southern California. It was here that he became acquainted with all things beach, taco, ultimate frisbee, and soccer related. He started off his first big adventure by moving to Boston for his undergraduate education at Boston College. While here he majored in Political Science and History while also discovering his passion for volunteer work, social justice, activism, and languages. Was lucky enough to do a fair bit of traveling and work abroad during his time in school: Central America, Ireland, and Spain to just name a few. Upon the completion of his degree in 2017 he moved to Madrid to work as an English Professor. He plans on staying in Europe for the foreseeable future and hopes to complete his Master's in Education before moving onto a PhD. Joey has spent more summers than he can count traveling, working at camps, and trying his best to interact with as much of the world as possible. He is always happy to have a conversation about anything under the sun, and he hopes that if you have questions or comments you can feel free to reach out. Happy Reading!
