More About Me
As Adjunct Professor and CEO & Founder of Mary Ellen Lynch Consulting, Mary Ellen fosters global citizenship in and outside of the classroom. While earning her Master's Degree, Mary Ellen traveled to Costa Rica to conduct research for her thesis and to assist with enhancing access to education in rural communities. Her fieldwork exposed her to global challenges that compelled her to embark on a career of education and community engagement. Mary Ellen has over 10 years of experience working in the non-profit field. For eight years, she worked in refugee resettlement, cultivating community partnerships to connect refugees to the broader community and presented at the United States Committee for Refugees and Immigrants National Conference. Mary Ellen has extensive experience facilitating workshops on topics such as cross-cultural competency, community engagement, leadership development, public speaking, and volunteer management. Mary Ellen has merged her professional experience with her international education background in her role as Adjunct Professor. Mary Ellen teaches community development, global migration, and public speaking courses at the Community College of Rhode Island, Quinebaug Valley Community College, and Roger Williams University. Mary Ellen’s foundational classroom goal is to broaden the lens through which students see the world by incorporating global competencies into curriculum to prepare students for an increasingly interconnected world.
