"*IMMEDIATE OPENINGS ONLINE* Born in Brazil, I have lived in the United States for the past 30 years. Experiences of immigration and displacement bring on emotional social challenges that can be overwhelming. My professional and personal knowledge of multinational identity makes me especially sensitive to issues of cultural selfhood and adjustment. People with roots in more than one society are exposed to chronic stressors. A good-enough fit between self and environment is something we continually build in a process that can be beautiful, but also costly for our self-esteem, our peace of mind, and our clarity of purpose."
