About
MY BACKGROUND
I am an enthusiastic innovator with a passion for building cross-cultural connections, expanding educational opportunity, and empowering youth. Within international education, I am enthusiastic about sustainability; diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging; experiential learning; and intercultural exchange. I believe that international education creates unmatched opportunities for personal growth in learners, and that providing global learning opportunities to all will lead to greater peace and equality.
