I am responsible for enterprise-wide health, safety, and security aspects of U-M international operations, including travel policies and risk management procedures, and crisis response. I also led study abroad programs to India, Taiwan, China, and most recently to South Africa as a co-lead for the U-M Symphony Orchestra tour in Pretoria, Johannesburg, Soweto, and Cape Town.
In 2013, I embarked on my longest road trip abroad: driving from Cape Town, along the South African coast, and up to Sossusvlei, Namibia. With U-M Alumni like you, I anticipate a similarly magical experience and can’t wait to embark on our train journey together.
