Meet the International Programs Staff

Monica (Miki) Johnson, M.A.
Administrative Assistant/Instructor

"I am the office manager as well as a teacher, and I love both jobs! I have lived and taught in Morocco, Senegal, Guinea, South Korea, and Japan. The world is my hometown! I love seeing students blossom and grow when they are here. As a teacher I can help students with academic issues and as the office manager, I can help with whatever other issues students may face. And I am here if students just want to chat. Come to IIE so we can become friends!"

"Teaching ESL at IIE after graduate school opened my eyes to the possibilities in international education, and led me first overseas, then to several U.S. States, and finally back to LCSC in 2002. I love to see students gaining not only knowledge, but self-confidence, leadership skills, and lifelong friends!"

"I was born and raised in Lewiston. I have been teaching at the institute here for more than 21 years. I really love my job here because I enjoy meeting students from everywhere in the world. I especially like teaching English grammar and TOEFL classes. Lewiston is a great place to study English. I like to read, work in my garden, and go for walks by the river. I hope I can meet you here!"

Dana Elliott, M.A.
English, University of Idaho

"I grew up in northern Idaho, and I received my Master's Degree in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) from the University of Idaho in 2006. My passion is traveling and international education, and I have studied abroad in Germany and New Zealand. I love learning about other cultures, and working with international students lets me do just that! In the past, I taught in intensive English programs in Washington state and Arkansas. I also spent last year teaching English and American culture at a high school in Germany as a Fulbright Teaching Assistant. I'm excited to be back in Idaho and working with students coming to the U.S. to study or wanting to study abroad!"
