Director of Admissions & International Program Director
I’m proud and honored to work with our international students. While they come to learn in the United States, in fact, our international students are simultaneously teaching us, bringing their customs, traditions, languages, and unique perspectives. This is tremendously valuable to our community and our mission of developing globally-minded citizens. It’s so rewarding to watch lifelong, indeed, life-changing relationships develop: in the classroom, on the field, or with host families. International students bring the world to Lake Ridge Academy.
