Q&A Spotlight With Our New Office Assistant - Joanna

Meet Joanna Kowalski, our new Office Assistant! 

Why are you excited to work for CIS Abroad?

I’m happy to finally have a travel-related job!

Describe a memorable moment from abroad

When I went to Dublin in 2019, I signed up for a program hosted by The Little Museum of Dublin to meet a local for tea and a chat. They took me on a long walk around the city, ending with ukulele karaoke at the Stag’s Head. It was a great day!

What has your career path looked like? How did you end up in the field of International Education?

I have had my eye on CIS Abroad for years, and when the Office Assistant position opened I knew I had to go for it! I’m looking forward to seeing where it leads me within the company. 

A typical weekend for me is…

Going on a local adventure, staying in and reading a book, game nights, and watching Netflix with my partner and cat.
