​Currently, I am working for the Middlebury College School in France, where I completed my practicum for the International Education Management Master's Degree at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies (MIIS) in Monterey, CA. My focus is increasing access to meaningful international education opportunities.
Prior to enrolling at MIIS, I worked for the Asian Languages and Cultures Department at UCLA. My interest in Asian Languages and Cultures stemmed from my teaching experience in Japan through the JET Program. My first experience in International Education began in Paris, France, where I studied abroad in a summer immersion program. I later completed an academic year in Lyon, France through the University of California Education Abroad Program (UC EAP).
A strong believer in the transformative power of study abroad, intercultural interactions, and working abroad, I strive to make those opportunities more accessible to underrepresented groups.
