MEET THE ITA
STUDENT AFFAIRS TEAM

While in college, Aubrey spent a transformative summer in Uganda, teaching and living in a local orphanage. This led her to pursue a degree in Teaching English as a Second Language. After graduation, she taught English in Thailand, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic and for nearly 10 years, has taught students from over 85 countries living in or visiting the United States.

Originally from Bosnia, Ivana moved to Vermont when she was in middle school. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the University of Vermont and later with an MA TESOL from Saint Michael's College before moving to Seoul, South Korea to teach university students for five years.

As a child, Sydney's travels never went beyond her neighboring states. She spent her Saturday's watching Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, and Pokemon which blossomed into a love for all things Japan, and later, a semester studying abroad there. Sydney spent 4 years teaching English in South Korea before returning home to the USA.

After a year of service with AmeriCorps: College Possible, Aubrey was itching to travel but also wanted to continue giving back... which led her to discover teaching abroad. She spent eight months teaching English in Thailand before returning home and beginning her career in the teach-abroad industry... and now here she is at ITA!
