Experiential Programs Manager
Hayley developed a love for travel at a young age as she visited family across the country. At the age of 15, she was privileged to experience her first trip overseas to Germany and Austria on tour as a violist in a youth orchestra.
Hayley has a B.A. in English teaching from Brigham Young University and a master’s in Higher Education Administration from NC State University. While teaching children of all ages in public schools in Utah, Texas, and North Carolina, she discovered the marked educational gains students make through experiential learning.
Hayley joined Duke in 2012 as a financial aid counselor in the Karsh Office of Financial Support. During her time, she focused on helping students with the greatest need to thrive and take advantage of every possible opportunity at Duke. She saw firsthand the impact of increasing college access and securing funding for students to not only attend college, but also study away and learn more about themselves and their role as global citizens.
As a member of Duke’s Experiential Education Division and the Global Education Office (GEO), Hayley advises staff and faculty on best practices for experiential learning and supports internships, research, service-learning, and project-based learning for study away. She values collaboration and seeks partnerships with faculty and other practitioners.
An avid reader, Hayley seeks to understand the global viewpoints of others to inform her worldview. She is always planning her next weekend excursion and far-away travels, daily listens to her favorite albums, and spends time outdoors as much as possible.
Hayley joined GEO in 2017.
