Irene Torrecillas-Domínguez, Student Life Advisor

Irene acts as a liaison regarding student’s accommodation while also providing support in other aspects of student services. Irene is from Granada and holds a degree in Translation & Interpreting from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. To experience what is it to live abroad she started participating in several exchange programs in high school and, later, studied for four months at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. Irene's understanding of the coordination of leisure and cultural activities is extensive, and she is a qualified youth leader for non-formal education by the Escuela Insignia de Madera. She volunteers at a local Scout Association, and she loves practicing sports, especially rugby and skiing. She takes every opportunity to learn something new; by doing so, she has learned social media management, Montessori English teaching, and a bit of Arabic! Her professional path has been consistently focused on helping other people, including as a local facilitator in the Red Guadalinfo—a project created to provide an internet connection and ICT resources to rural or deprived areas of Andalucía. Irene uses her experience and enthusiasm to provide students with the most supportive, enriching, and successful time possible in Granada.
