I started a degree in International Affairs at a university in Washington, DC, not really certain what I wanted to do. I wasn't really into politics, or economics, or development. But it wasn't until I had an internship in the field of international education that I realized what I enjoyed doing had a name, jobs, and even specific coursework and advanced degrees! It set my little heart on fire.
So, I went on to get my Master's in International Education, where I got to take courses like Comparative Solutions to Common Educational Problems and Issues in Study Abroad, loving every minute of it. I've followed the siren call of international education to the world of study abroad and eagerly look forward to learning more.
But after six years in DC (and admittedly few ties, besides my dear friends from the city who will remain in my life forever), I needed to get out. Way out. And so I set my sights on Boston but accidentally landed about three thousand miles east, in London, until December 2012. My plans after that? They are far less exact, but I've got a few ideas - as scared as I am to do so.
The section in the sidebar pretty much says it all. I'm a twenty-something female. I love birthday cake (regular cake is #2, but there's something about the happiness and candle wax on birthday cakes that speaks to me). I love inserting pop culture references into everyday conversation, although I don't know how much other people love that. And I love traveling. Almost as much as I love birthday cake.
