International Educator experienced in immigration advising, programming, and cultural support for international students. Particularly passionate about the intersection of international student advising and career development.

I am dedicated to supporting international students from the time of arrival, throughout their studies, and into their period of authorized employment.

I believe international students can be a wonderful asset to employers in the U.S., so I am particularly drawn to the overlap between the fields of international student advising and career development.Specialties include: International Student Advising, F-1 and J-1 immigration regulations, cross-cultural communication, intercultural training, career development, collaborating with career services, supporting international students in the job and internship search, and assisting employers with hiring international students
