Center Staff
Steve Shin
Center Director: I love interacting with students from all over the world! I began as a teacher and have worked at several different ELS centers. I made my way out to California from Washington, D.C., stopping in Michigan along the way. I also have experience abroad in Europe and South America. Living in many different places have made me appreciate the various culutres and their people. I am excited about getting our students involved around Berkeley, and I enjoy helping all the students, speaking with them everyday about things that interest them.
Allison Hines
International Student Advisor: I take a while to explain where I am from. Born in the Midwest, moved to Seattle, moved to the rural North West, studied overseas in the UK, studied more in California, lived in China for a year, and now back to Berkeley! Whew! – and that doesn’t even include travel. After moving so much and meeting people from all over the world, I’ve developed a love of cultures and attitudes different from my own. There is always something new to learn, and working for ELS Language Centers, I can finally plant my feet somewhere while still meeting fascinating people from all corners of the globe.
Kelly Williams
Registrar: After growing up in the Bay Area and LA, then later earning my Bachelor’s degree from UC San Diego, I can call myself 100% Californian. Fortunately, I was given the opportunity to study in Germany and became fascinated with other cultures and ways of life. After earning my TESOL Certificate I taught Kindergarten in Nagoya , Japan. I love working at ELS Berkeley because of the unique social atmosphere at Hillside Hall and the chance to attend fun activities such as culture night, Oakland A’s baseball games, and ELS Prom!
