Originally from Connecticut, I’ve moved around a fair bit before landing at the Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS) in California to pursue my MA in International Education Management. I’m currently in my last semester of the program and working with Frontiers Abroad New Zealand Study Abroad Programmes as a Marketing and Recruitment Consultant. Eventually I hope to work as a study abroad advisor, and someday direct a university study abroad office. I received my BA in Environmental Analysis from Pomona College in Claremont, CA and continue to be passionate about global environmental issues, as well as cross-cultural exchange. My international living experiences thus far include a semester abroad in New Zealand, a summer internship in the Cook Islands, and four months working with ATMA SEVA in Thailand. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring the outdoors, attempting to surf, and writing.

Check out the links above for more about my professional and academic background, along with past work samples. This website is a constant work in progress as my experience and knowledge grow, so check back soon for more!
