As a Teaching Faculty member and Lecturer of Italian, Giuliana Marple bridges cultures through education and diplomacy. Her expertise in international relations was forged through her work with the Olympic Committees in Salt Lake City and Turin, Italy, following her Master’s degree in Foreign Language Teaching from the University of Utah. Currently, Marple serves as a vital liaison between Salt Lake City and Italy, fostering cultural initiatives.  Her deep appreciation for Italian art, history, and cultural heritage shapes her approach as an international travel educator, where she creates immersive learning experiences for students and anyone with a desire to learn. When not cultivating cross-cultural connections, Marple can be found cycling through Utah’s scenic landscapes or pursuing her lifelong passion for horses.
