I currently work as the Associate Director of International Programs at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. I also serve as a Study Abroad Research Consultant for the Center for Global Education at UCLA. Prior to my position at Chicago Booth, I worked as the Senior Adviser for International Initiatives in The College and an Assistant Director in the Office of International Affairs, both at The University of Chicago.
I serve on the editorial advisory board of the Journal of Studies in International Education (JSIE) and have co-authored several book chapters, journal articles and reports on international education topics. I have also served on multiple task forces and committees of The Forum on Education Abroad and NAFSA: Association of International Educators.
I received my B.A.in Spanish & Latin American Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and my M.S. in Family Science from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I am currently at the dissertation stage in Comparative and International Education at Loyola University Chicago.

"International Education News and Views" - A Twitter List of International Education Thought Leaders and Knowledge Producers
I came up with this select group of international education organizations, news outlets/reporters/editors and thought leaders as a way to highlight those who are advancing the knowledge production in the field. To be sure, there are some who I have missed and I will add them to the list as necessary. This is the only Twitter list I have and will probably ever create.
