Biography

I work full-time as an Associate Program Director for International Education in the Carlson Global Institute and has been at the University for 13 years. I have been a leader at the Carlson School in intercultural education and training, supporting faculty, students, and staff in developing deeper awareness of cultural differences and how those impact our interactions, and the ways that intercultural learning and the work of DEI overlap and supplement each other. Outside of work and school, I'm a single mom to a delightful kiddo and a ridiculous black cat.
