Meet the amazing Nina Le! Nina is currently the communication coordinator for Montreal’s Concordia University’s TESL Resource Centre and a Master’s student in Applied Linguistics at the University. She’s focusing on heritage language maintenance and critical pedagogy. Nina was born and raised in Saigon, Vietnam until she was 15, when she received a scholarship to study A-level in Cambridge in the UK. She completed her Bachelor’s Degree  at the University of Birmingham in Business Management with Communications and started working for the fashion magazine Harper’s Bazaar.

If you’re ready and in the mood for a deep diving conversation, Nina and I explore a lot of our thoughts around cultural identity, cultural preservation, intergenerational connection, and Heritage Language maintenance!

In her free time, she manages the Instagram account @cona.yourvietnameseauntie, which aims at sharing her personal studying/living abroad knowledge and experiences to young Vietnamese women stepping out of their families for the first time!
