Why Natalie works in global education: I am committed to supporting international opportunities because I believe that all students deserve the opportunity to grow in empathy, cultural awareness, and foreign language skills in order to connect with people who are different than them.
Advice for students preparing to go abroad: Build routines into your day to increase the opportunity to build relationships with the people around you. Visit the same café and talk to the barista, take the same train at the same time, sit on the same bench, take the same walking path, etc. and notice what changes around you and whose path is similar to yours.
One of the most important lessons Natalie learned while studying abroad or traveling: We are all at different points of life with different experiences, but even if it doesn't seem like it at first, we most likely have more in common than we originally thought.
