About

Hi! I'm JoAnn, an international learner-turned-educator.

I believe in:

The power of every young person to be a positive change maker within and across communities.
Engaging youth in meaningful intercultural learning experiences using empathy-informed and research-based practices.
Increasing diversity and inclusion in international education by re-assessing program outcomes, design, and facilitation.

I'm currently an International Education Management M.A. candidate at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies. I aim to combine my experiences teaching and facilitating cross-cultural education programs for diverse students with knowledge of current research and a commitment to inclusive excellence to improve international education programs for youth.
