Margot Adalyn Ngo is a graduate student at Brown University, studying towards her Master’s of Art in Teaching with a concentration in Social Studies. Before enrolling, she taught English as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant in the northwestern mountains of Vietnam. 

Ngo is a graduate of Bowdoin College with a degree in Government and Legal Studies and Education. At Bowdoin College, she served as a Writing Assistant in the Baldwin Center for Learning and Teaching, as a Tour Guide and later as Assistant Head Tour Guide of Programming in the Admissions Office, and as a three-year student Fellow in the McKeen Center for the Common Good. She is an intern at DVAN (Diasporic Vietnamese Artists Network) and its magazine diaCRITICS.

She believes education is a primary force in moving towards equity and hopes to center communities often pushed to the margin in schools, such as immigrant students and multi-lingual language learners. Her passion and dedication can be attributed to her youth spent growing up in Little Saigon, CA, surrounded and supported by her community of Vietnamese refugees and immigrants who continue to empower her today.

Outside of the classroom, she enjoys aggressive roller-skating and skateboarding at skateparks, knitting and crocheting, and reading and writing, often poetry.
