This photo is the area in Buenos Aires called "La Boca". This neighborhood is now a brightly-colored, flourishing tourist attaction with shops, vendors, and street performers, but it had humble beginnings. Early residents worked on the nearby docks. They were poor, so they constructed their homes out of any building materials they could find, and then painted the exteriors with whatever paint was leftover from painting the ships. The area has certainly evolved, and it's a must-see for visitors to Buenos Aires!

About Me:
I am an Admissions Counselor for the Southwest and work with all students in this region of the country. I have been with CEA since 2005 and have had the opportunity to visit our programs in Buenos Aires, Argentina as well as Paris, Grenoble, and Aix-en-Provence, France.
I graduated from New Mexico State University with a Bachelor's of Business Administration. I spent my junior year studying in the United Kingdom at the University of Plymouth and was able to travel extensively in Western Europe. This experience was truly amazing and ignited my passion for travelling to new places! After graduating from NMSU, I also attended an Intensive Spanish language program at the Fenix Language Institute in Zacatecas, Mexico. I believe that studying abroad is an experience every student should participate in - not only because of the value it adds to your academic experience or your resume, but also because it adds a whole new dimension to your view of the world!
