AMY RASHAP
Amy Rashap’s career has spanned publishing, arts and culture, writing, fund raising, and teaching. Her Ph.D. in folklore from the University of Pennsylvania has given her the tools to reinvent herself a myriad of ways: She has told stories in front of hundreds of people; taught drama to 7- to 11-year olds (and written a play especially for them); and given public presentations to both academic and lay audiences. A U.S. citizen, Ms. Rashap lives in Singapore and holds a Q1 employment pass. Presently, she teaches English and business English to students and adults, and writes. (Assignments include grant writing for non-profit organizations in the U.S.; articles for the American Association of Singapore newsletter; and some travel writing.) She is also a published author: One of her articles has appeared in A Short Prose Reader, a major college textbook that highlights exemplary pieces of writing. She has written three ESL textbooks that are being used in Taiwan.

Ms. Rashap speaks in a low, somewhat husky voice, and she speaks clearly and precisely, in fairly accentless English. She is an excellent writer who can write in a variety of styles, and she always meets deadlines. Ms. Rashap eagerly awaits her next challenge in Singapore.
