Rebecca Thompson

Majoring in Communication Studies
Azusa Pacific University, Class of 2016
From Dublin, Ireland

I am a Communication Studies student with a keen interest in international team building and cross cultural communication. I am pursuing opportunities in relocation services and intercultural training. I grew up in Ireland and have since traveled to various European countries as well as Japan and Ecuador. I enjoy meeting new people and adapt easily to new environments. I am comfortable working independently or as part of a team. I am both task and relationship oriented. I continually seek creative solutions to balance increased efficiency with meaningful relationships.
