I went from being a third culture kid (TCK) to a thriving expat while taking my career abroad. I am Karla, a Higher Ed professional, International Higher Ed consultant, and founder of Roseapple Global, LLC. Since childhood, I lived, worked, and succeeded in 10 countries in my education, career, and building a business. I am Strategist; I enjoy helping people and organizations create their desired goals and pathways. I merged my passion for global adventures with education, and developed an expertise in student affairs administration. During my twenty (20) years in higher education administration, ten (10) have been international. I am skilled in strategic planning, student housing, staff engagement, and policy development. My years abroad have led me to help others make the international leap through expat coaching. I continue to execute my purpose through expat career coaching and consulting for student affairs/services. I provide a collaborative approach with my individual, group, and institutional clients to ensure progress towards their desired outcomes. I have been to 50+ countries and enjoy beach locations, visiting historical sites, reading, movies, creativity in the kitchen, listening to music, and conversing about trending current events.
