As a Research Assistant in the Office of International Programs, I have coordinated many cultural and educational events including seminars, symposiums, workshops, lectures, panel discussions, study abroad programs, orientations, campus tours, city tours and homecoming events. I also design many of the marketing materials, facilitate the logistics and speak publicly about the amazing programs and events we produce. I advise students interested in studying or teaching abroad and share many of my international personal and professional experiences with them. We cover various topics such as diversity and inclusion, cultural awareness, adapting to new environments, managing expectations, identifying authenticity, understanding professional contracts, designing curriculum, communication strategies and culture shock.
