Meet Our Advisers

"Studying abroad has impacted how I live my life and see the world, and the work I do. I am energized by Berkeley's diverse community and enjoy helping students incorporate study abroad into their time here. I’d love to be a part of your journey!"

"Studying abroad challenges students to know themselves, to realize who they really are, and to grow and change as a result of their experience."

"I was a first-generation college student and had the privilege of studying abroad twice. It exposed me to people and situations that I otherwise would not have had access to, so it's wonderful I get to help others pursue the rewarding, challenging and exciting adventure that is study abroad!"

“Studying abroad changes the way students view who they are as global citizens. Your increased global awareness will give you the opportunity to better understand your cultural values and beliefs in a new context."

"I love helping students realize that there are so many study abroad opportunities that they can take advantage of that have long term professional and personal benefits."

"I was the first one in my family to live abroad, and those experiences fundamentally changed my worldview in a positive way. I became a study abroad adviser so that I could help other Cal students have similar opportunities to observe and interact with new cultures."

"In addition to the significant learning that takes place in the classrooms and labs abroad, studying abroad is a wonderful chance to grow personally as you meet others from different backgrounds, sample new cuisines, try out different languages, and find adventure in the everyday."

"I feel tremendous joy when students allow me to help them match their motivation - a specific subject, destination, or personal motive - with the right program."
