Not only is this program an exceptional educational and personal development opportunity, it also exposes you to a diverse cultural and global community enabling you to visualize situations from a different lens.

The relationships you build are not only personally rewarding, they also enhance your network with exceptional talent from around the world. I highly recommend this program!

With the internships, I have built the network I was looking for in the Silicon Valley and thanks to the program, I had the right amount of exposure of what it feels like working in the Silicon Valley

What would you improve about this program?

Overall, the takeaways and introductions with professionals are pretty nice and they work. With addition of more internship possibilities with bigger companies will create the cherry on top.

Currently part of the international team creating and implementing a global engagement strategy for UC Berkeley Extension, International Programs. Emily loves helping students gain the opportunity to study at one of the best universities in the United States.

What is your favorite travel memory?

My favorite memory traveling most recently was climbing glaciers down in Patagonia. After a day of trekking through some of the most incredible views I have ever seen we enjoyed a drink over glacier ice. I've never seen anything quite like glaciers down there. Patagonia and the south of Argentina were in general really incredible.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

During my time here at UC Berkeley, I've learned a lot about study abroad and short-term programs for international students. I've learned how programs like these can help transform students. Many students have the dream of studying at a top U.S. University, but completing a 4-year or 2-year degree is not something that will be possible. Short-term programs gives students the chance to really experience the campus during a semester or year.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

Our students travel far and wide during the holidays! One of the popular destinations is Hawaii. Many students spend spring break or even a long weekend lounging on the beaches of Maui or my favorite, Kauai. Our location makes it an ideal launching point for travel adventures. Students are always renting cars and driving up to Lake Tahoe, Big Sur or picking up some great wine in Napa Valley. So many options for the holidays!

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

I would join the Berkeley Haas Global Access Program. It's a whole lot of a program in a short period of time. Students are taken on interesting excursions to fascinating companies in the area, getting to see the guts and the soul of some large and small Silicon Valley firms. The program offers a great academic program and complements it with other great activities!

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

We have grown a lot since I have joined the team and this growth has meant we can do so much more for our students. Our classes are more diverse than ever and we are accepting students from unique and varied backgrounds. I'm proud of our goal to diversity our programs and let more students know about these opportunities all over the world!

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

We have an amazing team behind an incredible institution. With this combination, we are set up to really serve our students both in the classroom and for their everyday student needs. From the first day on campus until we say goodbye, we are proud to offer exceptional support to our international students from all over the world!
