I am currently working to reinvigorate CIEE's Online Pre-Departure Orientation course to help students understand key logistical information prior to study abroad, identify realistic expectations for their abroad experience, and feel more comfortable and prepared to study in a different cultural context. The project is being conducted on Canvas with the following documents demonstrating the outline, assessment, and sample activities.
Practicum and International Education Program Design and Assessment
Principles and Practices of International Education
Service Learning: International and Domestic Community Partners
With this research paper I took the opportunity to expand my expertise on International Youth Programs. My findings led me to recognize the need for more specific research and dedicated resources in this particular group.

International Education Management
Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey
At an institution focused on collaborative, professional experience I have worked directly with clients, including CIEE and the Intercultural Communication Institute, composed research on various topics in the field, and conducted presentations with videos, poster fairs, and Prezis. Please see a few samples of the coursework I completed at MIIS below.
This Prezi presentation accompanies a mock training for high school students preparing for hypothetical Pakistani exchange participants. We conducted a mock needs assessment and subsequently presented relevant background information accompanied with interactive activities and discussion to build intercultural competence in youth.
For more information on courses completed, please see my attached resume.
