About Me

My love for education abroad sparked after participating in the Critical Language Scholarship Program in Russia as an undergraduate student at the University of Tennessee. After the CLS program, I caught the travel bug and went on a faculty-led spring break program in Czechia. Post-graduation, my journey further took me abroad to teach English in Russia through Fulbright and in South Korea as an EPIK teacher. My favorite part of working in the Office of Global Education is that I now get to share similar impactful experiences with Kent State students!

What I Love About Kent State

 I love that international education is ingrained in our university's culture! It's rare to find a university where everyone on campus (students, faculty, and staff) knows about the institution's international efforts.

Fun Facts

 One of my favorite things to do is visit gardens and flower fields around the world. My all-time favorite is Biseulsan Azalea Festival outside of Daegu, South Korea. If you have a favorite garden, flower field, or festival you've seen, let me know!
