What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can manage end-to-end international student enrollment, build Spanish-language programs, and provide hands-on student support within a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am a study abroad consultant and student enrollment specialist with extensive experience guiding students through program selection, university applications, admissions, and post-arrival support, particularly for Spain. I founded Education Journey to deliver Spanish language programs and comprehensive study-abroad services, and I manage remote enrollment, documentation, and cross-cultural coordination.

I also work as a Spanish translator and student registrar for Spanish institutions, provide private tutoring and university-level instruction, and previously managed bilingual customer service for a U.S.-based lab. My background combines translation, curriculum design, e-learning development, and hands-on student support to improve enrollment outcomes and student integration.
