My interest in International Education began while I was an undergraduate at the University of Michigan (U of M). During my freshman year I stumbled upon a program in the university's International Center (IC) that prepared students to go abroad the following summer. Growing up my whole life in Okemos, Michigan, I was intrigued by the idea of traveling to a different country.
After participating in a program in Managua, Nicaragua that summer, I stayed in contact with the IC. They helped to connect me with an internship in Spain the following summer and when I returned, I began my role as an Education Abroad peer advisor my junior year.
​
​Upon graduating, I taught English in Chile and have since spent time working with non-profits focused on refugees, specifically with English language learning for middle and high school students. Additionally, I have led inbound and outbound high school exchange programs.
​
​
All of these experiences have solidified my belief in the power of intercultural exchange to create positive change, especially among youth.
​
As a current Master's in International Education Management candidate at the Middlebury Institute of International Education, I am excited to develop my skills in the design and assessment of effective international education programs, in promoting diversity and inclusion on school campuses and in building intercultural communities.
