We are IWT

As Communications Manager, Abigail works to create effective print and digital communication materials to keep our stakeholders informed and prepared.

I am passionate about cultural exchange and I use my work as a J-1 summer work travel sponsor, to bring the world closer together.

My experiences overseas had a great impact on my life and really instilled in me a love for cultural exchange, travel, international cuisine and getting to know local cultures.

I first fell in love with cultural exchange, during high school, when my family hosted international exchange students.

I have been passionate about cultural education and exchange from an early age. As a second-generation German-American child growing up in a military family, I was regularly exposed to international and regional cultural differences.

Before joining Intrax, I had worked very closely with the J1 work and travel program for over nine years in the waterpark industry as a Human Resources manager. I quickly realized that I loved learning about the different cultures of visiting seasonal staff and teaching them about ours.

My experience, both as a participant and working across cultures, gives me strong foundation for my work.
