Richard joined the Fulbright Association in 2016.

When and where did your Fulbright take place? What did you do during your grant year?                                                                                                                                

I completed three Fulbrights: one Specialist in Estonia in 2014, a Specialist in Malaysia in 2016, and a Scholar in Malaysia in 2020. I taught undergraduate and graduate course in business system and structure for tech and media students and offered seminars in international marketing and distribution. I also mentored local tech startups.

How has your Fulbright experience impacted your life and career?                                     

I am involved with the Fulbright as Chapter President for Western New York & Northeastern Pennsylvania. I feel it is important that we interact in a meaningful way with individuals from different countries and cultures, and I’m currently involved in a worldwide study on creativity.

What is your most memorable experience as a Fulbright Association member?

I’ve enjoyed experiencing how dedicated and interested foreign students are in the learning process.
