Middlebury School in Spain
BIO
Personal Profile
Growing up in the beautiful, but isolated state of Montana, I am fortunate that my academic and professional paths have led me to experience life in many corners of the globe. My passion for international education began at a young age, when I participated in a semester-long exchange program to Ushuaia, Argentina. I later went on to complete my undergraduate studies in International Business and Spanish at the University of Montana - studying abroad once again for a year in Málaga, Spain.
​
In 2021, I began master's program in International Education Management at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in Monterey, CA. I will graduate in December 2022, after completing my current practicum position at the Middlebury School in Madrid, Spain. I am eager to put my skills and knowledge to work in the field as an international education practitioner in the near future.
