I’m Co Founder & Chief Partnerships Officer at Big Pond Education, an education abroad organization in Dublin, Ireland. I head up all of Big Pond’s outreach and tell the Big Pond story to the world.We partner with colleges to deliver community focused and planet friendly start abroad and custom programs. There's a deficit connection between societies and within them and there's no denying this is partly due to to a breakdown within our communities. At the same time, the huge environmental challenges we face won’t be resolved until there’s an effort made to build bridges across these social differences. Education should be an engine for making these changes happen and it's that belief that led to the creation of Big Pond. When I’m not working, I’m rowing, cooking, playing basketball or tending to the environmental concerns of my own corner of the planet, in my garden.
