About Me
About Karla Fraser and Roseapple Global, LLC
My expatriate (expat) life began 15 years ago when I merged my passion for global adventures and my international affairs background. My professional career includes twenty (20) years in higher education, of which ten (10) have been international. I also have two (2) years of experience in corporate conference planning.
My exciting life and expat story includes being a Third Culture Kid (TCK) who has lived in seven (7) countries, including the USA. Can you take a guess on the others? Travelling through my career and being a digital business entrepreneur has facilitated me working in six (6) countries, while long-term visiting three others and traveling to 50+ others for tourism, cultural exploration, and life enrichment.
My life has been as an adventure, especially after I transitioned into international higher education in 2007 with my first position in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Since then, I have lived and loved my expat life with a two-year return stateside. Being an expat has brought me many great, diverse experiences and it has fueled my passions: writing and wellness.
As persons learned of my adventures and experiences, I found myself coaching and guiding a close friend to obtain a student affairs position in Australia coming from the USA. I spent countless hours advising or coaching others over dinner, at conferences, or during a phone call about their anticipated journey. It was the soft beginning of what you now know as Roseapple Global's Expat Career Coaching Services.
These opportunities were genuinely fulfilling. As a result of my life experiences, I want to help others achieve their goal of expat living and higher education organizations deliver their best services to students.
Finally in 2019, Roseapple Global, LLC was launched: a boutique firm specializing in expat career coaching for aspiring expatriates and consulting for higher organizations.
