Sonia Priego, Senior Academic 顾问

As Senior Academic 顾问, Sonia manages the Spanish language courses to ensure high academic standards and course quality, as well as students’ registration in Spanish courses at CEA CAPA and our partner institutions. She also manages the tutoring program, and organizes and supervises cultural activities designed to enhance language acquisition. In addition, Sonia teaches several Spanish language courses.

Sonia was born and raised in Alcoy, 阿利坎特, and graduated from the University of 阿利坎特 with a degree in Hispanic Philology. She speaks Spanish, Catalan, English, and some French. 毕业后, Sonia accepted a job teaching Spanish at a small high school in Massachusetts, an unforgettable experience for her. After two years in the U.S., Sonia returned to 西班牙 in 2002 to begin an M.A. in Teaching Spanish as Second Language at the University of 巴塞罗那, which is how she ended up in 巴塞罗那. She has taught Spanish for various study abroad programs in 巴塞罗那, as well as at ESADE 业务 School. In her free time, Sonia enjoys reading, cooking, hiking, and traveling.

Sonia became involved in study abroad because her two years abroad showed her what an incredible experience it is to live in a different country. The time she spent in the U.S. helped her to understand the world—and herself—a bit better, and this is why she encourages her students to make the most of the wonderful opportunity they have to live and study abroad.
