From Traveling Student to Traveling Professor

Hi, I'm Natalie, Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at Western Kentucky University! I have been trying to travel with students out of the country since Summer 2020--we all know what happened there! I along with professor Kara Williams Glenn are leading this summer's study abroad to England. Our main area of focus will be London, with students traveling on their own (if they want) all over the UK.


I've always enjoyed traveling, but my passion for international travel began when I first traveled abroad to Italy in 2007 (yes that was a while ago) as an art student (study abroad) at UT Martin. A lot of things have changed since then; for example, my iPhone takes better photos than that digital camera did, and Facebook doesn't limit the number of photos in an album. I believe that study abroad can be life changing and I'm passionate about the power of travel and how a culture can influence creativity and personal exploration. This is my first time teaching students abroad and I couldn't be more excited!
