  Stockholm International School

  Aug 2014 - Aug 2016

  International Event Manager

  I planned events for the expats at the Stockholm International School in Sweden. I organized unique outings and creative adventures to bring the expats together. As an international school, it was important to connect individuals from all over the world as they learned about the culture, history and beauty of Stockholm. These international events were wildly successful in creating a close-knit, supportive community abroad.
