I am in charge of developing and supporting all University-sponsored immersion experiences (globally and domestically) for students, faculty, staff, and alumni including both for-credit and non-credit programs. I earned a bachelor’s degree in education from the Pontifical Catholic University in Lima, Peru, an MA in Religious Studies and Theology, and an Ed.D. in Organization and Leadership from the University of San Francisco. Before coming to the University of San Francisco, I worked in human rights organizations.
