Intro for International Office Staff


Today, I will introduce the lovely (albeit, mysterious) people I have been talking about and have the privilege of working with for the month!

First is Pat, who is from Scotland, and is the director of the international office. She is an absolute peach, to put it simply. She is just like a surrogate mom, and invited me to spend a day with her last weekend, showing me a beautiful seaside town close to Izmir and taking me into her home. We enjoyed the day by the sea (and pool). At work, she is just as kind and always asks if everything is going well.

Meline is from Argentina, and I’m currently taking up space in her office for the month J . She is so sweet, and funny! She has great stories to tell, made even better by her animations.

Jacob is from America, so it’s fun to find another to compare differences of Turkey and the US with. He has encouraged me to watch soccer (the Euro Football Championship is now underway), and the first night I arrived I was invited to go out with him and his friends.

Selin is from Turkey, and she is willing to help anytime. When I have questions, she is fast to help. Plus, I love her cute wardrobe!  

Levent is from Britain and Turkey. Well, something like that J He has a great sense of humor and double checks that I’m still here because I’m so quiet. How kind of him!

Kursad is from Turkey, but he might as well be from America. He graduated from Ferris, and lived in the US for 5 years. He has been my “tour guide,” especially the first weeks, and is my communicator.

They are all so helpful, and without them I would have had a much harder time figuring out how to live and communicate here!
