She has more than a decade of experience in the international education field, including work with entities such as Where There Be Dragons, Princeton University’s Bridge Year Program Abroad, Phillips Exeter and Deerfield Academy, where she focused on cross-cultural and educational travel programs throughout China for U.S. students. She is also a co-founder of BEE (Beyond Experiential Education) Global, a social enterprise centered on building community and fostering freedom of mind through deeply impactful cultural immersion programs.
