Ann Wadsworth, Director
With over 15 years of experience, Ann has extensive knowledge of all aspects of the Study Abroad process in Australia, from being a study abroad student herself, to working at Australian universities, to working with American organizations and universities.
Originally from Boston, Ann was an American student who studied abroad in Australia way back in 1989… and so began her love of Australia and all things Australian. After her year of studying abroad she returned to Australia in 1992 to live and work.
Ann spent the next 10 years working at two Australian universities as their Manager of Study Abroad and Exchange Programs: Flinders University of South Australia (Adelaide) and The University of Queensland (Brisbane), traveling extensively throughout North America, South America and Europe.
In 2003, Ann began working with Dickinson College (Pennsylvania, USA) and Washington University – St Louis as their on-site Program Director for their students studying abroad at the University of Queensland. This includes writing comprehensive pre-departure and arrival guides to assist these students with preparing for a semester of Study Abroad in Australia. Ann is still managing their programs at the University of Queensland to this day, looking after anywhere from 30 – 45 students each semester.
Ann has co-presented at regional NAFSA Conferences, National NAFSA Conferences, and presented at an Australian ISANA Conference
“I love Australia and wish every student had the opportunity to study here as it is an amazing nation, with fantastic universities that provide students with a first-class education and an experience that will last a lifetime!”
