About Amanda Drobek

An ambitious and motivated traveler, currently working in the International Education industry through international nonprofit internship recruitment.Following my graduation from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, I knew I wanted to engage in meaningful work, rather than hop on the corporate ladder. This led to a Sustainable Tourism Marketing Internship in Malawi that changed my career aspirations. After a year of working in Community Development , I blended my passions of travel and purposeful work and began my career in International Education. As a student, I embarked on several learning abroad programs which showed me first-hand the power of international experiential learning and motivate me to facilitate similar experiences for others.As a young professional, I'm excited to continue growing my skills and connections to help learners around the globe participate in experiences that provide opportunities to engage with new cultures and promote a world of peaceful, sustainable development.
