Bio:

I didn’t study abroad while I was in college so I made up for it as an adult. I lived in Beijing, China for seven years to work with the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and international admissions. I loved the intercultural experiences, from trying local street food to learning to speak Mandarin. Living abroad has given me an international network of friends, provided a global perspective, and inspired my passion for working in a multicultural environment.
