Teaching Abroad

I have taught internationally, as well as studied abroad.  In the summer of 2010, I studied in London with the media and technology program, completing courses towards my Masters Degree.  Two years later, I became the program leader for the Dedman School of Hospitality's summer study in Switzerland, where I was responsible for a group of 23 students, an instructor and a teaching assistant. I planned the curriculum and tour activities, as well as taught two classes.

In the summer of 2014, I taught two classes at FSU's Valencia, Spain campus.  I incorporated local culture and business practices into the the instructional materials as well as arranged guest speakers and site visits for enhanced learning.
