Office Manager
It has become my goal in life to become an educator in the field of English. I have a passion for literature and would love to one day teach my own class. For now, I thought it would be appropriate to work my way through the ranks and learn the administrative side of things and British International School of Chicago was the best option. Holding a high standard for education, the school was very attractive to have on my resume and long list of experiences.

Human Resources Manager
Continuing my HR career with the British International School of Chicago, South Loop has been such an enriching experience and I feel incredibly fortunate to be a part of the learning and growing environment that BISC-SL provides. I am proud to be a part of a team comprised of many intelligent and inspiring people that support education and international culture in such a positive environment.
Registrar & Music School Director
I joined British School of Chicago in 2007 as a receptionist and have enjoyed wearing many hats since then!
School Nurse
I am excited to work at BISC South Loop because it is a tight-knit community of dedicated teachers, students, and parents. I am originally from the south suburb of Oak Lawn, but I have been living on the north side of the city since my time at Loyola University. In my spare time, I love to get outside, go hiking, explore nature, and play with my dog Cooper. I also enjoy getting lost in a good thriller novel or reading the memoirs of people who inspire me.
I received my bachelor’s degree in Nursing from Loyola University of Chicago in 2015. During my time at Loyola, I realized that I enjoyed both community nursing and pediatric nursing which is perfectly encompassed in the role of a school nurse. Since graduating, I have worked as a nurse in home health care with children and adults on mechanical ventilation. Working as the school nurse at BISC South Loop was definitely be a big career change for me, but I am excited to continue working with children and being a part of the awesome community at BISC.
Associate School Counselor
Ms. Economakos joins us from Lycée Français de Chicago where she had the privilege of working with their Director of College Counseling while completing a Master of Education degree in School Counseling at DePaul University. Her background working within a globally minded culture and curriculum has allowed her to both explore and understand the broad spectrum of challenges and opportunities unique to high school students at an international school.
Admissions & Events Officer
British International School of Chicago, South Loop is more than a school or a place of work, but a community of lifelong learners. Both staff and students desire to make a difference in the world, and I am thrilled to join a community where I can continue to develop professionally and personally.
Librarian
I attended Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota for my undergraduate degree in history and classics. While studying history, I spent time researching in the university library and realized working as a librarian would be something I would love. I returned to Chicago to pursue a Master of Information and Library Science, which I received at Dominican University in River Forest.
Director of Counseling
Ms. Kafitz joins us with over twelve years of experience in college counseling and college admissions. She spent the first seven years of her career working in selective college admissions at Bucknell University, New York University and Northwestern University. After leaving Northwestern University, she transitioned to college counseling and served as Associate Director of College Counseling at Lake Forest Academy. Lindsay most recently served as Director of Counseling Counseling at Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund.
Lindsay grew up in the North Shore of Chicago. She graduated from Bowdoin College with a Bachelors degree in Gender and Women Studies and earned her Masters degree in Higher Education Administration and College Student Personnel from New York University.
