Liz McBean, an Ohio native, began her relationship with CIEE during her junior year of college when she studied abroad at CIEE’s Study Center in St. Petersburg, Russia. Upon graduating from Kenyon College, she spent time teaching in South Korea before making her way back to Russia, where she spent 10 months as a Fulbright ETA at Orenburg State University.

After her time in Orenburg, Liz moved to Moscow to recruit Russian program participants for American Councils for International Education’s FLEX program, which gave her the unique experience of traveling all over Russia, working in a variety of Russian high schools, conducting testing.

After attending the ‘Network CIEE’ alumni networking event we hosted in Moscow last fall, Liz found her way back to CIEE, where she is now a Student Service’s Assistant at our St. Petersburg Study Center. 

Welcome back Liz, we are delighted to have you!
