Carly graduated in 1996 with a BA in Japanese and minors in French and Interdisciplinary Studies from North Central College in Naperville, Illinois. After graduation she spent three years in Niigata, Japan teaching English in junior high schools. There she began her studies in kyudo and naginata, which she continues today.
Carly is currently a graduate student at the Monterey Institute of International Studies in Monterey, California. She is working towards her MA in Teaching Japanese as a Foreign Language, a Certificate in Language Program Administration, and a specialty in Computer Assisted Language Learning (expected May, 2001). She is also the manager of the InstituteÕs new Max Kade Language and Technology Center, where she has the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with technology in a classroom setting. Upon graduation, she hopes to find a position teaching Japanese as a foreign language that will also allow her to continue her work in educational technology.
