International Experience
First international experiences include traveling to Venezuela for a family vacation when I was in first grade and spending lots of time playing with students from Japan and the US in elementary school. Most impactful international experiences include being an international student in the US and teaching philosophy at different colleges before becoming an international student advisor at CSU.
Favorite Aspect of CSU
I love the old oak trees around the Oval, the mountains West of our beautiful campus in the heart of Fort Collins, and the opportunity to partake with people from all over the state, the country, and the world.
