Tina M. Tuccillo

Senior Director, Global Marketing, ETS

What inspired you to work in this field?
I was attracted to our company’s mission statement — to advance quality and equity in education worldwide. Through our efforts here at ETS, we have the ability to change the world, impact the next generation of leaders, and improve the lives of thousands of students around the work through access to education.

What are the challenges you've faced?
The world is changing at lightning speed. Technology is one of the keys to address change and provide access to education for students all around the globe. Staying on top of technologies such as AI has allowed us to better target our messages to students to provide them with the necessary information to help make the decisions that will be key to start their study abroad journey. 

It’s an exciting time — and working with the various teams here at ETS to provide new products and services that will unleash the potential of students is a challenge that we’re all aligned on to make it happen NOW!

What do you hope to achieve in the future?
To realize a world where education has played a key role in making dreams happen for students from all backgrounds around the globe. I want to be able to say I had a role in making that happen. 

If you can give 1 or 2 pieces of advice to our prospective international students, what would it be?
Dream big! It can happen for you. Start your journey with access to education and continue learning throughout your life.

Have the confidence. There are so many resources to help guide you on your journey.  Listen to others who have paved the way for you. Don’t be afraid to ask a lot of questions - it's your future. And study hard — get the scores you need to set yourself up for success.
