Welcome to this Class!

Welcome! I am originally from Seattle, Washington, but have lived in Spain for 30 years, working as a journalist and intercultural teacher/trainer. I love preparing teenagers (and their parents) for study abroad programs in the US and Canada. I have experienced study abroad and cultural exchange as an international student (Spain/Norway), an agent (Training, Student Supervision, Family/International Liaison), a host mother (USA/Thailand/France/Austria) and as the sending mother of my four daughters (France, Canada, USA, China, South Korea, Nepal). Are you ready to host a teenager happily ever after? Then I'll see you in class!
