In 2017, I completed the Global Virtual Team Coach X-Culture program, where I counseled dozens of international teams completing a complex consulting project. I also participated in the AIB-SE Washington D.C. Symposium in October 2017 as part of the X-Culture international competition. From these accomplishments, I learned the importance of teamwork, commitment, and integrity.
Due to my love of travel, I participated in a group study program to Spain during my undergrad where I took Spanish language and culture courses at the University of Alcala de Henares and gained business experience and Spanish immersion skills during a 4-week internship at Madrid Network.
Since then, I have taken a Global Enterprise course at the University of Exeter in England, as well as a Spanish-intensive semester abroad program in Seville, Spain. The skills I gained there contributed to developing my skills as a Spanish tutor. To finish my undergrad, I attended Yonsei University in South Korea, which was my first time to Asia.
With the MSc program, I had many adventures in Nicaragua, Japan, and Denmark to gain further work experience, as well as cultural understanding. I have also started a YouTube channel in order to continue offering Spanish tutoring services while I am abroad.
