About Me

I'm an author, professor, language enthusiast, and Italian voyager. My ideas have been implemented to create a suite of content to allow curious travelers to enjoy more meaningful experiences and rich cultural engagement. I earned an MBA from Milan's SDA Bocconi University and a PhD from Penn State University. I research and regularly speak about the development of global competencies. My expertise spans a career as an international education administrator and Italian faculty member who has developed and led study abroad programs in Italy and Switzerland's Italian speaking region.
