Four visits to Kyoto. Two internships with CIEE. And this opportunity is a dream. ⛩️ ✨ 

I’m so excited to share that I’ve been living and working in Kyoto, Japan for a little over five weeks, this time as a Business & Marketing Intern with CIEE Council on International Educational Exchange, working on-site at the CIEE Kyoto center. This is my second time working alongside the Kyoto team, and I can’t thank them enough.

My current role blends global marketing strategy with on-site execution. I report globally to Judy Lee, Director of College Initiatives, supporting peer-to-peer marketing strategies including the Refer-A-Friend (RAF) and Ambassadors Abroad programs, along with broader community impact initiatives. I also collaborate with Kristin Lamas, Kristina Taylor, and their team on weekly social media deliverables and brand content for @cieekyoto and @cieestudyabroad. 

You might have already seen my face there 😉 

On the ground in Kyoto, I work closely with our Center Director, Conor Aherne, and Izumi Wada, supporting daily operations, student excursions, and CIEE Kyoto socials. I'm currently managing @cieekyoto Instagram, where I script, film, edit, and publish both static and short-form content to engage prospective and current students, partner colleges, and other stakeholders. Having both global and center-level mentorship has given me valuable perspective on how CIEE’s marketing strategy translates into real student experiences every day.

Beyond digital marketing, I help bring the student experience to life by creating yearbooks, capturing memories during excursions, and offering insight as a CIEE (student and intern) alumna. Highlighting students’ experiences through storytelling and content creation has been one of the most rewarding parts of this role.

This experience feels full circle. I wake up every day combining marketing, storytelling, and global education in work that feels purposeful, energizing, and aligned with my passions.

Looking forward to what’s ahead! 🌏
