Noelle Brooker

My name is Noelle Brooker.  I received a bachelor of arts from Kent State University in English with a minor in writing and a certificate in TEFL.  After graduation I taught at the ESL center at Kent State University.

 

In 2012 I obtained a position at Princess Noura University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia where I taught both general English and English for academic purposes.  During my three years in the Middle East I was able to develop and grow both professionally and personally.  It is, and will remain, one of my most cherished experiences.

 

I am currently pursuing my masters degree at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in International Education Management.  I hope that my continued education will allow me to nurture and influence students beyond English language instruction as well as cultivate intercultural awareness and tolerance. 

 

I am passionate about remaining a lifelong learner and try to achieve this through extensive travel and interactions with locals in the communities I visit.  Though I have been to many places, it is a vast world and I hope to continue my exploration of it.
