Areas of Interest

Jayna sees custom and faculty-led programs as a valuable tool in the effort to increase access to education abroad. Often, these customized experiences offer more flexibility in timing, price, and curriculum, thus breaking down barriers for underrepresented student groups. Additionally, custom programs can be intentionally designed for particular identity groups, ensuring that the specific interests and needs of these students are championed and supported.
