I developed dual-degree programs and exchanges. My duties included developing and implementing multimillion dollar budgets taking into account possible fluctuations in currency exchange rates. I have traveled to 6 of the 7 continents and lived and worked in 8 different states in the US. I lived, worked, and studied in Japan for 5 years and I speak Japanese.
