Koichi Kim, Executive Director
Koichi Kim’s passion for cultural and educational international exchanges finally brought him back to the field of international education from the corporate world. A former international high school exchange student himself, and a collegiate foreign student and international corporate executive, Koichi is dedicated to bringing practical experiences and knowledge of “real world” education to AEC’s international programs.
“I can help to bring both the academic and business world together to provide effective programs with real tangible results.“
Cynthia Davis, Program Administrator
Having lived as a child in Stuttgart, Germany, Cynthia’s love for international education began at an early age. After graduating college, she began working in international travel and tourism, then found her way to teaching in the classroom, where she has been for the past 24 years. She and her family have hosted numerous international students from Asia and Europe, and she really believes in the spirit of multicultural exchanges. She hopes to further better global communications and interrelationships between countries through homestay programs such as AEC offers. She is very excited to become a part of AEC’s family.
