My Background

I am originally from Oklahoma and lived in the Sooner State until 2022 when I moved to Nebraska. I have family roots in the U.S. and Vietnam. Before joining Global Experiences, I worked in banking for over 4 years and then worked in UNL Housing for over 2.5 years. With my business degree, ongoing education degree, and work experience, I hope to bring in new perspectives to assist our office and help students’ dreams of going abroad come true. I’m very excited to join the team!

My Study/Work Abroad

My bachelor’s degree included coursework in international business, core business principles, international economics, international monetary relations, and more. I was accepted to study abroad for a semester in 2020 but unfortunately could not. My master’s degree includes coursework in student development, law and higher education, human resource management, and comparative international education. I will go to South Korea on a faculty-led program this summer to complete my degree and graduate in August.

My Ideal Next Travel Destination

After South Korea, my ideal next travel destination is Japan or Peru. I also love to scuba dive, so the Red Sea is on my bucket list. Additionally, I’ll travel anywhere I hear has good food, so if you have any recommendations let me know!
