Growing with students from developing countries to bloom in a lifestyle abroad through higher education.
Ciao a tutti!
My name is Kristen Elizabeth Karovic and I'm the founder of College Bloom. I have nearly 20 years as a mentor to international students who seek cross-border opportunities through higher education. I've given in-person lectures, hosted workshops, and crafted one-on-one programs for high school and university students in my journeys through the U.S., Panama, Mexico, Spain, Brazil, and Italy.
As a Fulbright alum rooted in educational anthropology, I also prioritize financial planning, especially for students with limited budgets. I journey with students through hidden gem locations and programs primarily in Europe, supported by careful evaluation of academic eligibility and cultural fit.
I'm invested in research and value simplicity. I work with young learners in my current home between Sicily and Tunisia through environmental activism, cultural awareness, and meaningful reflection and dialogue.
Rooted in Panama 🇵🇦
I'm proud to have had the trust of countless families and sponsors to support Panamanian students in their journeys beyond common picks in the U.S., including Canada, the U.K., Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Costa Rica, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, France, Portugal, Hong Kong, and even back home in Panama.
