I work at the intersection of international education practice and research, where policy and student experience meet. Professionally, I have supported international students, scholars, and programs through roles in global engagement, advising, admissions support, and monitoring, contributing to initiatives that prioritize access, equity, and institutional impact. Academically, I am a doctoral researcher whose work examines identity negotiation among students abroad. My research is grounded in qualitative and mixed methods approaches and is driven by a central question that also guides my professional work: how do global education programs shape, and get shaped by, the lived experiences of those within them? Across both spaces, I am motivated by translating research into practice and practice into insight, whether that means strengthening institutional processes, supporting internationally mobile students and professionals, or contributing to evidence-informed conversations in the international education field. I bring a scholar–practitioner perspective to my work and am especially drawn to roles involving program design, program management, and policy-to-practice implementation in international and postsecondary education contexts.
