Harmony’s interest in a career in international education began after college, but her desire to explore the world began in high school when she participated in a short exchange to Germany. This experience motivated her return to Germany to live, work and study. Harmony attended the University of Oregon, where she earned a BA in German with minors in Italian and Linguistics, and a Master of Public Administration with a focus on international education. As a result of her personal and professional experiences abroad, Harmony is a firm believer in the life‐changing impact of intercultural exploration and understanding.
