What I Did Before I Entered: I received a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and Global Studies (Asian Studies Option) with a minor in Japanese from Winona State University and during that time had the opportunity to study abroad for one year at Toyo University in Tokyo, Japan. At Winona State, I worked in residence life and in the Catholic Newman Center. After graduating from there, I was led to work as a substitute Spanish teacher in Catholic schools. Eventually, I ended up finding full-time work as a seafood clerk while working part-time in the box office at a movie theater. During my free time, I volunteered as the Financial Secretary for the Knights of Columbus at St. Thomas University and then received a Master of Arts in International Development from St. Mary's University in Minneapolis, MN.
