Katie Klein, Vive’s Assistant Trip Leader, is a high school French teacher who lives for languages, travel, and meaningful connections. She studied abroad in Senegal during college and has returned many times to visit her beloved host family—including her goddaughter. Senegal completely stole her heart and continues to shape her life and teaching.
Katie earned her Master’s in Teaching Foreign Language from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies and speaks French, Spanish, and Wolof. She’s also dabbled in Arabic, Italian, Portuguese, Swahili, Swedish, Japanese… and the list keeps growing!
She’s helped lead international trips, worked in educational travel, and even toured the world with a community choir. Through it all, her goal has stayed the same: to help students experience the beauty, depth, and diversity of the Francophone world.
She’s beyond excited to help others discover the warmth and wonder of Senegal with Vive!
