Programs Administration Assistant, Adelante Abroad

Portia helps guide participants throughout their journey with Adelante Abroad, from their first inquiry to the moment they return home after their program. She knows that a successful experience abroad involves much more than choosing a destination; it’s about having the right support along the way. She enjoys helping participants feel informed, prepared, and excited about their adventure ahead. Away from her desk, she enjoys spending time with her family, reading, cooking, and finding simple ways to make everyday life a little more meaningful.
