Meet your Session 2 Program Leader: Sam Skold
Authored By:
Hello!! My name is Sam Skold and here is a photo of me in Patagonia, Chile!
I love to travel, especially to beautiful places like the southern tip of the Americas, but this Summer I have the privilege of staying in my home state as a Resident Advisor for the CIEE Global Entrepreneurship program in Portland, Maine! I must say, I am anxious to meet everyone as they arrive tomorrow, because we have an amazing three weeks planned, and I can't wait to get started! Before I get carried away, here is a little bit about me:
I am 24 years old, and in 2015 I graduated from college with a degree in Spanish and a passion for international education. While in college I had the chance to study abroad for a semester on the beautiful coast of Chile, which turned out to be a life-changing experience. After I graduated, I then lived and worked in Nicaragua for a year on a plantain farm, at a deaf school, and at a child refuge center. It brings me great joy to be able to still be involved in international education here at CIEE. It is a great company and I believe the students who are coming to Portland will have an unforgettable experience!
We can't wait to see you! And parents, if you are reading this - don't worry! Your children are going to have a wonderful time and they will be back home in no time ;)
Every day one of us 6 staff members will be writing a blog post, so make sure to check it out!
Safe travels!
Sam
