Kaylyn Temple
Kaylyn joined the OGO team in 2023 as the Embedded Regional Director for ISA and TEAN by Worldstrides.
Kaylyn’s first international education experience was at the age of 18 with her honors high school Spanish class. They traveled to Costa Rica for a language immersion tour and after the opportunity to communicate with native Spanish speakers, she realized the importance of application outside of the classroom. Kaylyn then made it her mission to seek out as many experiential learning opportunities as she could manage.
While attending 91̽»¨ as a first-generation student, Kaylyn studied Spanish for a semester in Sevilla, Spain with ISA, traveled to Peru as a climate action volunteer, spent time as a volunteer English teacher in Thailand and Laos, Au Paired in Italy, and was a diplomacy, conflict resolution, and international relations virtual intern in South Africa.
As a recipient of the U.S. Department of State's Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship, Kaylyn is passionate about affordable, accessible, and inclusive study abroad opportunities. Her love for international education led her to work as a peer advisor in 91̽»¨â€™s Office of Global Opportunities and as a Global Ambassador for ISA. In 2021, Kaylyn graduated with majors in War and Peace, Latin American Studies, and European Studies, a minor in Spanish, and certificates in Ecotourism and Diversity Studies.
After she completed her undergraduate degree, she returned to Spain for an academic year to work as an Assistant English Teacher in Madrid. Now, Kaylyn is back in her home state working as the first WorldStrides Embedded Regional Director at 91̽»¨. She is beyond thrilled to return to her alma mater to help students find programs that will impact them academically, professionally, and personally – just as international education did for her.
