My Story

My involvement in international education began in 1978 when my family hosted international students in our home. From a young age of six, I found the interactions with these students deeply engaging.

Throughout the past three decades, I have had the privilege of dedicating my career to international education. Witnessing first hand the transformative impact it has on young people's lives has been immensely gratifying. I firmly believe that traveling and meeting individuals from diverse cultures fosters a deeper global understanding, with profound implications not only for students but also for their families and local communities.

Over the years, I have overseen the education and well-being of more than 140,000 international students. These experiences have enriched me personally, through meaningful interactions not only with students but also with the dedicated individuals who facilitate these programs: host families, local coordinators, schools, and teachers alike.

Long may this journey continue.
