Contributor Bio(s): Michael, Laura: - Laura Michael is an Armenian-American activist, educator, and writer who was born and raised in Rhode Island. She received a bachelor's degree in Spanish from the University of Rhode Island and a master's degree in education from New York University. Laura has taught at the elementary, middle school, and college levels in Massachusetts and New York and currently lives in Los Angeles where she is a program coordinator for a local school district. When she's not working or going for long walks with her dog, Roxy, Laura volunteers with an organization to help schools implement genocide and human rights curriculums. Traveling is also one of her favorite pastimes. Laura's more memorable trip was when she found her great grandparents' former homes in Historic Armenia, which is now part of eastern Turkey. |
