Providing Connections to New Experiences Abroad
ABOUT Me
I'm passionate about how international and experiential learning can create new opportunities.
I believe that our experiences abroad open the doors to new opportunities. I believe that everyone can benefit from their own unique and personal experience abroad. I believe that our experiences abroad have the ability to empower ourselves. Whether it be for study, work, research, or purposeful travel, what matters is that these experiences are known and accessible. That is where I come in.
I am currently a graduate candidate at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey where I study International Education Management and Public Administration. I also recently completed the Frontier Market Scouts Certificate in Social Enterprise Management and Impact Investing and DPMI Certificate in International Development and Social Change. Prior to arriving at the Institute, I worked in college recruiting in Israel, as a teacher in Milwaukee, and as an English instructor in the Czech Republic. Now, my goal is to help others experience life abroad and open their own door to new opportunities.
I am currently completing my graduate practicum in education abroad advising at Portland Community College's Education Abroad Office until mid-December 2018.
Professional Experience
Selected Projects And Coursework
International Education Marketing and Recruitment
With a budget of $1000, my team was tasked with developing a marketing and recruitment plan for Robert Morris University's Center for Global Engagement designed to increase international exchange student enrollments and fix exchange agreement imbalances.

International Education Program Design and Assessment
My team worked through an iterative design process with EUSA Academic Internship Experts to develop a new modular on-site orientation both customizable to the city site and standardized to provide a shared experience using common student learning outcomes across all five countries.
Research
I have been conducting research on the role of scholar-practitioners within comparative and international education. My research was presented at CIES 2018 Annual Conference in Mexico City.
I've lived and worked in three different countries and have traveled to many more.
