International Programs Staff

Kristen is dedicated to helping international students throughout their educational journeys in the U.S. From initial inquiries and applications, to new student orientation, and on through graduation, she is passionate about providing support and facilitating student success. She completed her bachelor's degree in California and has since enjoyed traveling throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia.

Maggie has been working in International Education for over 10 years. She is passionate about helping international students pursue their education in the U.S. She understands that it can be exciting, yet sometimes stressful for international students to study and live in another country that speaks a different language and has a unique cultural blend with people from various backgrounds. Maggie has travelled across Asia, Latin America, East Europe, and the Middle East to meet with international students and join education conferences. She enjoys getting to know students from different countries and helping them start an enjoyable and rewarding education adventure in the U.S.

Jody developed her passion for international education through her service experience, in work such as tsunami relief efforts in south India, outreach for orphans in Bolivia, and teaching English as a second language in South Africa, Egypt and to Tibetan refugees in the Himalayas. She holds a Master's degree in International Conflict Resolution from Portland State University and has volunteered, lived, worked, studied and traveled in over 55 countries spanning six continents.
