Meri Zavorine

Hello,

My name is Meri Zavorine. I have been a member of WIT-NC since 2005. I was born in Russia and then lived in Latvia, where I graduated from Latvia State University with Masters Degree in Applied Mathematics, and then worked in the Institute of Economics Research. I came to the United States in 1991. My first employer here was National Semiconductor where I had worked for 11 years, holding different positions in the Logistics department.

I started my career in International Trade in 2005 when I joined Advanced Micro Devices as a Senior Customs Specialist, and my manager Jennifer Eldefonso introduced me to WIT-NC. I have been a WIT-NC Board member (Event coordinator) since 2008.

WIT-NC seminars provide me with a great opportunity to expand my knowledge of International Trade, not only by attending numerous presentations covering a wide range of interesting topics, but also by personally interacting with many highly experienced professionals. I also greatly enjoy being a Board member, organizing our seminars, welcoming new members, participating in planning of new events.

Outside of my job I enjoy spending time with my family (I have a daughter and a son and three grandchildren), volunteering at various performances and other events at Villa Montalvo.

Please feel free to contact me at (408) 348-2718 or merizavorine@yahoo.com.
