About Us
Isabella Ricchiuti – Founder, Translator (EN-ES-FR-IT), Writer, and Consultant
Hi, I’m Isabella, your dedicated partner in achieving your dream of studying abroad! Originally from Pahoa, Hawaii, and now based in Bucharest, Romania, my academic journey has taken me across continents, giving me firsthand experience with the cultural and educational challenges that come with international study.
In high school, I faced a tough choice as I watched many of my peers in the United States take on substantial debt to pursue their degrees. Determined to find a different path, I researched alternatives abroad and applied to public universities in France, where education was nearly free. This decision allowed me to earn my degree without the burden of student debt—an experience that inspires me to help others find affordable education opportunities worldwide.
With a B.A. in Applied Foreign Languages from the University of Strasbourg in France and ongoing M.Sc. studies in International Business and Entrepreneurship at the Romanian-American University in Romania, my academic background is deeply international. I’ve also studied in Milan, Italy for an exchange year.
Currently, I’m gaining experience as an intern with the U.S. Department of State, and have previously held internships with two other departments of the U.S. Federal Government. My volunteer experience includes creating multilingual infographics for the United Nations International Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Tunisia, helping to produce an Annual Report for Statistics Without Borders, creating promotional content for a Slovakian-based internship counseling business and being an editor and translator for a Peruvian-based college counseling business.
In my free time, I am a world traveler. I have traveled to over 30 countries and lived in four, so I understand the excitement and challenges of navigating new academic systems and cultures. I am no stranger to culture shock, and recognize the concerns students may have. Many of these experiences and topics will be touched on in my blog.
Fluent in English, Spanish, French, and Italian, with elementary knowledge of multiple other languages, I bring a global perspective that resonates with students from all backgrounds.
My goal? To use this knowledge and life experience to help others!
Whether you’re just starting to plan or ready to take the next steps, I’m here to help make your dream of studying abroad a reality. Let’s get started!
