About your College Counselor
Dear IICS learners,
My name is Michelle Mi, and I am delighted to work at IICS as a college counselor. In this position, I look forward to creating a supportive counseling environment for our learners regarding their post-secondary pathways.
I moved to Istanbul with my husband and son in 2021. Before Turkey, I worked as a University and Careers Guidance Counselor at international schools in Zambia, Bangladesh, and my home country, China. I cherish the opportunity to join the IICS community and explore the country.
As an educator, I always believe all learners are unique and have the potential to become lifelong learners, especially in a friendly and welcoming place. I look forward to a great year!
Kind regards,
Michelle Mi
