One of the few native Coloradoans known to exist, Mark is returning for his fourth year with Global Works. Mark earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Northern Colorado and his Master’s degree in counseling from Colorado State University.  Mark has been a school counselor and coach for the past nine years and has spent most of his time off from work traveling around the world.  He believes his most rewarding experiences in life have come from experiencing adversity and diversity.  He is stoked to return to Fiji again and help students experience the true beauty of Fiji, the people!  In addition to traveling, Mark and his wife enjoy skiing, biking, hiking, running, and exercising.

Originally from Memphis, TN, home to the world’s best barbeque, Emily now calls Salt Lake City home.  She returns to Global Works this summer after taking a few years off to live in Costa Rica, attend graduate school, and teach for a traveling high school where she and her students traveled overland throughout Southern Africa and Central America.  At an early age, Emily developed a fascination with different cultures and global issues and her adventurous spirit has led to amazing experiences in North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Asia.  She hopes to travel to Australia and Antarctica before too long!  Emily has wonderful memories of working with Global Works in Fiji and Costa Rica and is happy to be part of the Global Works family again.  She’s excited to return to one of her favorite countries, Costa Rica and explore it with Global Works students.

Anthony is a native of the Washington DC/ Northern Virginia area currently living outside of Columbus, Ohio where he works at a university in the Residence Life Department. He loves leading teams and working with students of all ages and has had the opportunity to lead and/or participate in service trips to Spain, Guatemala, Nashville, New Orleans and Alaska.  Anthony enjoys exploring and learning about cultures that are different from his own. His path after graduation from college has led him from the remote villages of “Bush” Alaska to the olive farm campos of southern Spain.  Anthony’s interests include backpacking, travel, Spanish, sports, and oil painting (yes, the kind with a brush canvas and little tubes of paint)! He is extremely excited to meet his group and create new adventures together this summer in Costa Rica.
