As an Oregon native and a proud PSU Viking alumna, Skye Clifford knows firsthand how life-changing a global education can be. In 1996, her own adventure began when she studied abroad via PSU in Freiburg, Germany. What was meant to be a short stay turned into a two-year love affair with the culture, kickstarting nearly a decade of life abroad. Skye’s international journey later included a six-month credit-bearing internship at a premier financial newspaper in Frankfurt through IE3 Global, followed by a master's program that took her to South Africa and India. Since 2018, Skye has brought her deep global experience back to campus as PSU's Education Abroad Coordinator. She is fluent in German and always eager to practice her Spanish. When she isn't at work, you can find her traveling, enjoying live music, heading to the beach, or spending quality time with her family, friends, and beloved dog.
