Adriane shares the story of how her experience as a Canadian teen in Japan led to a life of bringing together exchange students from across the world with host families here in the US.
Adriane Wagoner's experience with international exchange goes back nearly 30 years, when she left her native Canada as a high school student to study abroad in Japan for a year. For the last 18 years, she has worked professionally in student exchange. Over the years, she has come to know the ins and outs of international exchange and all it has to offer for everyone involved. She has also personally hosted a dozen or so students during that time. She enjoys serving the students, host families, and area representatives.
Adriane is a Special Project Manager for ASSE International, Inc. ASSE is designated as an Exchange Visitor Program by the US Department of State, and maintains 38 offices in 31 countries where it accommodates more than 30,000 high school age students and host families in its programs in participating countries.
