Read “3 best practices for managing student travel” from Brandon S. Lee.
In January 2017, Cathi Berberich joined Terra Dotta as an ISSS Client Support Specialist. Her responsibilities include managing ISSS implementations, executing and monitoring project scope and quality to meet client objectives, maintaining subject matter expertise on SEVIS regulations and conducting policy analysis of U.S. immigration regulations and SEVIS reporting.
Before joining Terra Dotta, Cathi was an International Student and Scholar Advisor at the University of California Berkeley, an International Student Advisor at the University of California Davis, and also as an H-1B Specialist at National Institutes of Health. Cathi obtained a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology degree from the University of North Dakota where she studied abroad in Thessaloniki, Greece and the United Kingdom. She also obtained a Master's of Arts degree in Intercultural Relations from Lesley University where she studied abroad in Tepoztlán, Mexico.
Outside of work, Cathi enjoys hiking, trail running, traveling, and reading. One activity Cathi has always wanted to do is a trail run or hike in New Zealand!
Cathi says her favorite part of working at Terra Dotta is “working with, and getting to know, clients on how to maximize their use of TDS to fit with their institutional needs and streamline their processes.”
