About
I am currently pursuing my MA in International Education Management at the Middlebury Institute for International Studies. With a background in Latin American Studies, Spanish, and school administration, and a passion for developing intercultural competence and increasing access to education abroad, I look forward to becoming an innovative leader in the International Education field at either the independent school or college/university level.
