My name is Ann Jackson Edwards and I am from a small farming town in Southeastern Virginia, USA. I am passionate about learning and pushing past my comfort zone, as that is where true growth occurs. In addition to being a student, I work with the Linking Lives Study Abroad Program and I enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures in my spare time.

Prior to attending Franklin University Switzerland, I studied at Virginia Tech and obtained dual bachelor’s degrees in Marketing Management and Psychology. During my undergraduate career, I attended the Linking Lives program in Lugano, which ultimately led me to discovering Franklin.

My future plans involve remaining active in international education, and I hope to provide opportunities for underserved students to travel and learn internationally
