Justin Gorney
M.A., Literature
Fulbright Program: English Teaching Assistant (ETA), Germany 

Justin Gorney completed his bachelor’s degree at the University of North Texas, majoring in rhetoric & writing and minoring in theatre. Born on an army base overseas, Justin was often told by his parents while growing up that they “brought the wrong kid home from Germany,” which incited his fascination in German language and culture, but it wasn’t until his undergraduate career that he was able to start learning and experiencing the language. If selected for the Fulbright ETA award, Justin will teach English to middle or high school students and perform American-style comedy in his local host community. Justin is looking forward to further developing his German language skills as well as exploring the full range of German culture. After the insights gained from this experience, Justin plans to enroll in law school and work in communities with close German ties.
