IVANIA ROMERO

With a strong background in Business Administration and comprehensive experience in Project Management, Ivania has served global companies in a wide variety of industries. Working within fast-paced environments with quick turnaround times, she has managed multiple, complex projects simultaneously to great success. Ivania’s strong attention to detail and excellent grasp of technology reflects her role as a self- motivated, reliable, and true team player. While Spanish is her native language, she is fluent in English, French and Greek, aiding her as an international accreditation consultant. 

Guiding and accompanying schools throughout the many stages of their accreditation process, Ivania most recently led Marymount International School Barranquilla to unanimous reaccreditation with the Council of International Schools (CIS) and New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). 

When she’s not working, Ivania can be found enjoying time with her son, traveling, exercising, and updating her personal blog where she encourages others to “dream big, think positive, enjoy the moment and love life.”

 An educator, a counselor and lifelong learner, Dean has over 25 years of experience in the fields of education and psychology. His introduction to accreditation came while teaching in Los Angeles, going through two cycles of the process with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). As the Middle Years Program Coordinator with the  International School of Turin, Italy, Dean chaired the school's two-year self-study to unconditional reaccreditation with the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). 

Dean would later volunteer his time as a visiting team member with CIS, enjoying the inherent and mutual professional development that came with visits to international schools in Basel, Frankfurt, Medellín and Barranquilla. Now serving as the Director of Communications with Palm Beach State College, Dean continues his role with CIS and is certified to serve as co-chair for evaluation teams. 

 When he's not visiting international schools, Dean can be found travelling, hiking, biking and writing about people, places and experiences from Chicago to Shanghai.
