Meet Our Team

Born in Rhode Island and now residing in Connecticut, I have a full house of animals as I foster cats and my dog Nala.  I also enjoy true crime podcasts from my time as a criminal justice major and love reading books about the paranormal. When not working I can be found back in RI with family, reading a book or looking for a new coffee spot.

Born in Beverly, Massachusetts, I completed my Bachelor’s in Global Studies in Worcester, during which I had the incredible opportunity to study at Temple University’s Japan Campus in Tokyo. After completing my Master’s in Theological Studies at Boston College, I began working at Clark University as the Graduate Admissions Advisor. I’m looking forward to helping students through the application process!

I’m from an ancient city in China called Jingzhou. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Renmin University of China and spent two years in Beijing, working in consulting for renewable energy projects, before coming to the U.S. After earning my master’s degree in environmental science and policy at Clark, I started working in higher education. I found my passion for international collaboration while working on a partnership program with Peking University for the Albright Institute at Wellesley College, and at Wellesley’s Slater International Center I provided immigration and on-campus support to international students. At Clark, my focus is also on international students, which I enjoy a lot. Out of work, I like cooking and exploring the world with my young daughter.

After growing up in Massachusetts, I studied here at Clark for my Undergraduate and Master’s degrees. During my years as a student, I was able to work within Worcester for a local basketball team and volunteer with several other organizations, before becoming a part of the Graduate Admissions Team. I have made some great connections during my time in Worcester and I hope to help students do the same. Outside of work, I play for several rec league sports teams, but spend my down time playing drums and singing.

I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri which is located in the heart of the mid-western United States. Later on in life, I moved to a small town in New Hampshire and I have found that the East Coast is now my home. I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Communication Arts at the University of New Hampshire. During my undergraduate program, I worked as a Lead Ambassador and an RA. I really started to learn more about international students in those roles and their stories. After finishing my degree, I began my professional career at Southern New Hampshire University where I worked as an International Recruiter. Following that, I transitioned to my current role at Clark University and have enjoyed every minute of it. I love to travel and have explored many places worldwide. My passion involves helping international students achieve their academic goals and supporting them throughout their journey. Outside of work I enjoy playing video games, listening to podcasts, and camping.

I was born in Taiwan but spent most of my life time in Miami FL where I worked with Johnson & Wales University for the first 10 years at the Academic office and then moved on to the Admission recruitment for another 10 years. I learned a lot from both departments and was able to continue working as a recruiter based in Taiwan. I was hired by Clark University to assist students from Taiwan and help them with admission process, so contact me if you need my help.

Hi! My name is Dzidzor (pronounced as ji-jor). I come from Ghana, West Africa and I grew up in the capital city of Accra. During my undergraduate education, I studied Economics, Geography and French at the University of Ghana, Legon in Accra, and I graduated as an Economics major. I am passionate about development work. Before coming to Clark, I had the opportunity to volunteer and do community work with youth in some areas in Eastern, Western and Northern Africa.

I am currently in the International Development, Community and Environment (IDCE) department pursuing an MA in International Development with a concentration in Monitoring and Evaluation. The multidisciplinary nature of the International Development program is what first drew me to Clark. The students and faculty at the department have a wealth of real-world experiences from different backgrounds that add a unique richness and practicality to the interactions that take place in the classrooms.

The most exciting thing about Clark for me has to be the community that I have forged here at the University and in Worcester. I am constantly surrounded by vibrant personalities from the most diverse backgrounds who share a common sense of collaboration and support. Coming to Clark as an international student, this characteristic of inclusivity has been extremely valuable to my experience.

I love to travel, and I like being outdoors although I am also the least athletic person that I know. I am excited about the opportunity to support prospective and incoming students as they make decisions about their graduate education. My hope is to be a resource and also to share the sense of community here at Clark with them.

Hello! I am Deepak Singh, from Bangalore India, a beautiful and vibrant city in southern India. I am pursuing my MS in Project management from Clark SPS. Have over 15 years of rich experience in the IT industry. I started my journey as a software developer for one of the best IT services companies. Excelled and moved up to the new roles of Technology Analyst, Team Leader, and Project Manager. I worked for industries like Food Retail – CPG, Electronics Manufacturing & distribution, Fashion Retail, Information management and Digital services, Publishing, electrical manufacturing, and industrial equipment manufacturing industries to name a few, and developed a deeper understanding of the everyday work life in any IT project.

I love everything about people, traveling, and food. Driving on the new roads and seeing places never seen before is the best as it gets. Trying new food and flavors is a blessing. Good friends, good food, and amazing places make it all worth it!!!

Since I was always working, I knew I was missing the core project management fundamentals, techniques, and new methodologies. Everything around us, including technology, is changing rapidly and it’s always a good idea to come back to any form of education to keep yourself updated and relevant. I feel this is a big stepping stone in my life where I would be able to not only pursue my long-standing MS degree but would be able to go back to work knowing all the latest tools and techniques to work better and reap the best benefits out of it in my future prospects.
Many ask me why this time. So let me summarize that: while it’s always the right time to go back to college, for me it was a personal decision to wait while giving more importance to family responsibilities, I feel this is the right time for me to be doing my MS. Things could not have worked out the best as they have for me, which confirmed my belief that this indeed is the right time to come back to the college.

While choosing the university, Clark was always a top contender on my list. I look for education as a history of evolution and building the future at the same time. When it comes to admitting students, Clark takes a very unique approach for each student who is applying for the programs. Clark gives a lot of importance to what a person is really looking for and would be needing for their better prospects and try to cater to that need. This individualistic approach is the core of my principles as well. Clark University has been established and standing long enough to prove all of these features. A good mix of people, cultures, food, and fun events is the cherry on top. Happy Learning!

My name is Saif, and I am currently a student in the MBA program. I am originally from Belgaum, India, and it is where I call home. Before arriving at Clark, I received my undergraduate degree in Business Administration from KLE’s CBALC in my home city. Though my time as a student in India was great, studying in the United States was always a dream because I enjoy researching, learning, and studying in diverse environments.

I like being a student at Clark because it allows me to meet new people from other backgrounds and experience different cultures. Coming from a management background, I love learning about programming languages and engaging with my professors inside and outside the classroom. My academic experience so far at Clark has been outstanding as I have been able to learn in an environment that is inclusive. I enjoy working at the Office of Graduate Admissions as a Graduate Assistant because I have a niche for communicating with students and helping them make choices and decisions about studying in another country. Working here allows me to interact and engage with students from all over the world.

As the weather in Worcester gets warmer, one of my favorite places to spend time on campus is on the green, where students can come together and be Clarkies. If not on the green, you can find me in the academic commons, as I love socializing and doing academics in one place. In my leisure time, I like to paint, read books, take hikes, watch movies, and laugh at memes.
