I grew up in Indiana, graduating from high school in Fort Wayne. Since then I’ve lived and worked in Indiana, Oklahoma, Bulgaria, Moldova, and Georgia on the Black Sea. In these places I taught in schools and universities from grade 6 up to graduate courses. I am active in Scouting in with both American and Georgian scouts, and I sing with a Georgian folklore ensemble in my town. My travels have taken me to many countries, but I always kept an eye on the great State of Indiana. With UE, I was able to join my love of education and my personal passion for helping students all over the world obtain a top-rate education. I am pleased that now I assist people from all over the world to come to Evansville and embark on their own life’s adventure.

Admission Advice

Make sure to highlight your activities outside the classroom as well as your academic performance. I love to see students who are active in volunteering, sports, community actions and other such activities. Also, understanding what each university has to offer is important, so be sure to read their websites and any materials they send you carefully!
