ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Jodi Gill, the founder of GiDE International Education, began her journey in the international education industry in 2004 as a director for a K-12 school in Portland, Oregon. She dedicated her efforts to supporting various schools in the region, starting and enhancing their international programs and enriching the experiences of students from diverse backgrounds.

In 2015, Jodi founded GiDE USA, LLC, establishing formal consulting services to assist schools. Her initiative provided support to properly promote schools to agencies, create partnerships with foreign schools, and manage admissions, students and host families.

In 2019, Jodi's expertise led her to an administrative position overseeing international programs at one of the top-ranking Christian universities on the West Coast of America. This role allowed her to expand her impact in the field of international education and deepen her understanding of F-1 and J-1 student opportunities including visa regulations, OPT and CPT programs.

In 2024, a significant milestone was achieved when GiDE received approval to operate as a nonprofit service provider. This development marked the beginning of an organization poised to become one of the leading service providers in the international education sector on the West Coast. GiDE International aims to serve with excellence as we expand our partnerships and services.
