Yesenia's Program

Hello!
 
My name is Yesenia. I am a Spanish high school teacher in Chicago. I am the Program Leader for the Aquatic Ecosystems & Sustainability Program in Lisbon, Portugal. This is my first time traveling to Portugal, but it is not my first time being a Program Leader. 
During the summer of 2019, I was the program leader for the Spanish Foodie Culture Program in Alicante, Spain and I was one of the Program Leaders for Session 2 of the Language and Culture Program in Valparaiso, Chile. During the summer of 2018, I was also a program leader in Session 2 in Valparaiso, Chile.

I am extremely excited about the adventures that await in Portugal. I hope that you too can enjoy the wonderful city through the experiences of high school students from the United States in Portugal.
