About Me
Who is Justine?
I am a lifelong learner! I hold a PhD in Education and MA in Latin American Studies, and enjoy taking classes and learning new skills when I have the opportunity. I have worked as an administrator, researcher and faculty member in the UC system, non-profits and for-profit institutions. My research focuses on innovative technology, cultural perspectives and online learning.
I embrace challenge and adventure
Since a young age I have been a traveler. At nine months I made my first international flight to my father's native country, Germany. I studied abroad in Italy at age 19 and then moving to South America at age 21. I love to travel, learn new languages and gain new perspectives on life. I have lived on three continents, traveled to six, and am always eager to go somewhere new and challenge the way I see life.
I am dedicated to health and wellness
I am a committed athlete! I have competed in a triathlon, several half marathons and am an avid hiker. I enjoy Capoeira, various styles of dance, Crossfit and yoga.
When I'm not at work, I'm usually working out!
