I first found an interest in different locations, languages, and cultures when obtaining my Italian language minor at the University of Oklahoma. After my first trip abroad to Tangier, Morocco in 2014, I caught the travel bug and have been venturing to new countries every year since. The field of study abroad has been a perfect fit for me, and specifically my job working as a Student Services + Marketing Coordinator at the Austin, TX office for Istituto Lorenzo de’ Medici in Italy. Not only do I get to talk about travel daily and work with international colleagues, but I also get to encourage others to start out on their own journey!

Suzanne travels extensively throughout the U.S. during the year, forging close personal relationships with American colleges and getting to know their real needs in terms of creating an overseas experience for their students that will affect them for a lifetime. She is also a regular blogger and commentator on issues relating to Study Tours.
Enda Carroll is Associate Director of University of College Dublin Global and heads the Americas division of the office. She leads a team based in Dublin and the USA who are dedicated to the support and recruitment of students from the Americas. Her position involves working in collaboration with UCD’s Schools and Colleges in the areas of academic program development and management of relationships with UCD’s key partners in the region.

After graduating with a Diploma in Chemistry from Philipps-University Marburg (Germany) in 2007 I started my PhD with Prof. Steven V. Ley FRS at the University of Cambridge (UK). Here my research focused on the development of new continuous flow approaches towards important organic transformations and selected natural products that have since found widespread applications in both academia and industry. Upon completion of my PhD I was awarded a Feodor Lynen Postdoctoral Fellowship by the Alexander-von-Humboldt Foundation (Germany) allowing me to join the group of Prof. Larry E. Overman at the University of California Irvine (U.S.A.). During these 2 years my research focused on the total synthesis of alkaloid and terpene natural products as well as their analogues including their biological evaluation. This has resulted in a new anti-cancer drug candidate currently entering clinical studies through Novonco Therapeutics in the United States. In 2013 I returned to the UK to take a postdoctoral position with Prof. Ian R. Baxendale at the University of Durham, where I combined my interests in continuous flow technology and the synthesis of bioactive target molecules. In 2017 I moved to Ireland to join University College Dublin as an Assistant Professor in Continuous Flow Chemistry to pursue my independent career.
