OLIVIA FRANCIS
M.A. Candidate, International Education Management
As a current candidate in the International Education Management (IEM) program at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies (MIIS), I hope to work towards giving students experiences and opportunities to widen their horizons.
HELLO. BONJOUR. GUTEN TAG.
I am a current International Education Management candidate at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey (MIIS). My primary interests are in higher education administration and language program administration. In this field, I hope to work towards giving motivated students the chance to develop language and intercultural skills in the host countries of their target language.
​
MIIS may be the start of my career in international education, but my interest and passion in the field has been long in development. I've been studying foreign language consistently since high school and continue to develop these skills both academically and recreationally. Additionally, I studied abroad in a French immersion program in 2015-2016 and spent two years as an English language teaching assistant through the Teaching Assistant Program in France (TAPIF). I look forward to spending the rest of my career working with students to develop their skills.
