Introduction: Deb Bartley Carter, GGL

Hello Glimpsers!

My name is Deborah Bartley-Carter, I am excited to be one of two amazing Global Glimpse Leaders going on the trip to Costa Rica with you all! Before the trip, I wanted to let you know a little more about myself.

I may not need an alarm clock when I have a good cup of tea.  Iced with lemons or hot with milk and honey-either way, it is my favorite way to start the day. I use the pronouns she/her/hers and currently reside in New Jersey. I have been in education for 25 years, specializing in Social Studies and Language Arts as a classroom teacher and school administrator.  My passion for travel started in college when I studied abroad—and it only grew stronger when I got to explore the world again as a Fulbrighter.  I learned that every place has something to teach us if we’re open to adventure. I love volunteering with groups that support literacy and community service. I am also a big fan of ROM-COMs and a good mystery podcast. 

I will be reaching out in the next few weeks to learn a little about you all as well before we leave. I’m beyond excited to share this experience with you, and I have a feeling you’re going to come back seeing the world—and yourself—in a whole new way. The adventure is waiting–Let’s Go!!!

Sincerely,

Ms. Deb
