Raquel's Program

High School Abroad in Spain

¡Hola! My name is Raquel Burgos and I´m the Director of the Global Navigator Program in Sevilla, Spain. I was born and raised in Sevilla, but l lived abroad for 13 years. I lived in Bristol, UK for three years and in Portland,Maine for ten years. So, I´m a Spaniard with a Mainer heart. I have been with CIEE since 2006 where I started working as an intern. At the CIEE Headquarters I worked in various roles including Student Services Coordinator, Enrollment Assistant, and Support Manager.

I love experiencing Sevilla through the eyes of young adolescents. My passion is to help our participants to grow as individuals and to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to live and work in a globally interdependent and culturally diverse world by offering the most comprehensive, relevant, and valuable exchange programs available.
