Alejandra Monroy
CEO
Study in Europe - Worldwide
Education has always been a very important part of my life, even when I did not know what I wanted to do. I always ended up doing something that involved helping, teaching or inspiring young people. At a very young age I worked in summer camps with children and teenagers. At that point I did not understand that such experience was going to be the beginning of everything I did afterwards.
Thanks to several scholarships I obtained during my school and college years, I was able to study in different countries. This international experience helped me appreciate the diversity and uniqueness of different educational models around the world. It also allowed me to understand the importance of having good role models, good and passionate teachers, adequate systems and updated tools that help individuals reach their goals based on their talents and capacity.
After working for several years in international commerce and translation, I decided to start doing what I really loved and I started my career in education as a teacher in an international school. In education, I have had the chance to work in different positions: teacher, teacher supervisor, language coordinator, college counselor, and international accreditations supervisor. All of that experience gave me the knowledge I needed to be able to found later my own education consultancy agency which helps universities, families, students, schools and teachers to find the best option for their education.
