Icydor was born in the Cayman Islands and grew up in a New York suburb. In 2001, she established a Paralegal practice in Laguna, California that provided legal administrative services to social justice attorneys. She ventured into Jamaica for 2 years, Korea for 1 year and China's mainland for 10 years to search for new business opportunities. In 2005, she was invited by a retired English Department Head of an American university to lead a group of novice English teachers beginning their ESL teaching careers at a newly established private university on China's mainland. Icydor spent 7 years at Beijing Normal University's International Finance College where she conducted research that enabled her to engineer teaching methods and author reinforcement products for Chinese college students aspiring to study in British universities. After concluding this 7-year assignment, Icydor founded the Z.toefl Institute of China (ZIC) as part of a new private high school. At ZIC she conducted research to engineer TOEFL preparation literature curricula for Communist-Chinese high school students who desired to study in American universities. The ZIC Literature Curricula (ZLC) focused on American social and academic cultures while emphasizing an appreciation for America's history, Constitution and Bill of Rights. As part of the long-term goals of the ZLC, Icydor included Communist-Chinese middle school students in a one-year research project to identify FUN English Comprehension Activities for Tweens to lay the foundation for their participation in the ZLC. Icydor's research in China led to her becoming known as a 'Social Entrepreneur' (SE) who generously donated thousands of hours to researching teaching methods as well as authoring and e-publishing much needed academic material. After concluding her research in China, Icydor facilitated 6-weeks of Workshops for Self-Improvement [pre-job training] and Job Retention [post-job training] at Blue Ridge Community College in Hendersonville, NC.
