Ola Pozor - International Education Expert

Hello! ¡Hola! Cześć! Привет!
Welcome to my global journey- personal and professional! I hope our paths cross in the future ~
"Tell me about yourself"
Sure thing! I am a Polish-American dual citizen, polyglot, and young professional with the core belief that education and interaction with people from all over the world promotes cooperation, understanding, innovation, peace, and personal growth. I have seen this belief come to fruition through my own education and significant experience working in the international affairs and higher education fields, especially with youth and university students. Therefore, I wish to continue my passion of learning how the world works and using that understanding to connect people to educational and international opportunities. My research interests include EU/Eastern European Politics, migration policy & human rights, female-led civil society movements, language acquisition theory and practice, intercultural competence, internationalization of higher education, and diversity, equity, and inclusion in the international relations realm. I have traveled to 25 countries and counting and share my travel stories and advice on my Travel Instagram, @ola_roundtheworld. I am also a life-long dancer, singer, actor, and learner!
