Welcome to QSI International School of Dushanbe
Welcome Letter
I am a Third Culture Kid. I was born in Liberia and lived overseas (in Liberia, Ethiopia, Bolivia and Peru) until I attended college. After graduating from Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania I had many jobs that paid the bills but did not fulfill me, until I “accidentally” became a teacher, in the Fall of 1999. From the moment I stepped into my first classroom of 6th graders, I knew that education would define the rest of my working life.
