Indy Language Center Team
Giancarlo Di Mizio
Education Director
Giancarlo Di Mizio Jr. is a native Italian and fluent Spanish speaker who grew up in the heart of Rome, but his family has put down roots in Indiana. In addition to over a decade of language teaching experience, his diverse professional experiences from majoring in psychology and biology at Purdue and serving as regional manager for a family restaurant make him uniquely suited to his role.
As the Education Director for Indy Language Center, he is responsible for daily managements of our Carmel, IN location as well as setting the mission and general policies of the school. He thinks the best thing about his role is creating community and bringing people together speaking each other's languages and experiencing each other's cultures.
