Bryant's bio
Originally from Argo, Illinois, Bryant graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a Bachelor's of Arts in Marketing: Sales and Advertising as well as a Master's of Business Administration.
He's worked in international higher education since 2010 and has a passion for bringing access to US education to communities abroad. His favorite aspect of working with students abroad is engaging with those eager to use this opportunity to build a strong foundation for their future.

Bryant is extremely excited for new opportunities and adventures in California and appreciates the warm reception he’s received from the Chapman community as a new resident in the Golden State.
