Professional Profile for Christy @ Ambitions Abroad

Christy founded Ambitions Abroad in 2007, after working with students and professionals from around the world for nearly 20 years.

From teaching ESL in a private language school in South Korea, to recruiting and advising international students, to orienting visitors and immigrants to American life, Christy’s expertise in international education spans a wide range of settings and professional roles.

Christy began teaching English and intercultural communication over the Internet in 2006 and has additional experience teaching ESL in traditional classroom settings in South Korea and the US. She also has extensive experience managing academic, cultural, and social programs for international students at such well-known institutions as UC-Berkeley, the University of Washington, the Monterey Institute of International Studies, and San Jose State University.

Christy lived and worked in South Korea for two years, spent one year as an exchange student in Australia, and has traveled extensively in Europe and Asia.

Drawing from her professional and personal experience, Christy intuitively understands the needs of non-native English speakers and enjoys supporting them in developing a clearer understanding of the English language, life in the US, and the many nuances of cross-cultural communication.

Christy earned a Master’s degree in Intercultural Relations from Lesley University, a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan in Cultural Anthropology, and is currently completing a Certificate in TESOL at Seattle University.
