Natasha Adams

I never planned to forge a new life in a completely new country. My original career path was to become a Spanish teacher in the United States, inspired by my passion for language, literature, and education. But after just two weeks of studying abroad in Madrid, I realized this city was my calling. Determined to return, I extended my exchange to a full year, finished my degree back home, saved up, and came back to Spain. I then spent six years teaching English as a foreign language. That experience not only deepened my love for education, but also taught me how to adapt, connect across cultures, and help others grow and achieve their goals. As many international professionals know, visas and work authorization can be complex and challening. Those obstacles eventually pushed me to reinvent my career. It’s a decision that I’m deeply grateful for. Today at IE University, I continue to work in education, helping students bridge the gap between the academic sphere and the professional world, guiding them toward meaningful opportunities and long-term success. I love working with my team and managing projects. I excel in student facing roles and empowering the next generation of leaders. I’m passionate about higher education, career development, and career coaching.
