Alexandra King

Education Abroad Student Employee
Hello! I am Alexandra and I am a senior at NAU majoring in Accounting and then will be continuing into the MBA program. I studied abroad my sophomore year Spring semester in Guildford, England. It was one of the best experiences I have ever had and I want to help other students have just as amazing an experience as I did! 

Violette Valencia

Education Abroad Student Employee
Hello! My name is Violette Valencia and I am majoring in Sociology with minors in Ethnic Studies and International Studies here at NAU. For Spring 2025, I studied abroad at Chonnam National University in Gwangju, South Korea for four incredible months! I have also done three faculty-led programs including Spain for a week, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and France over the summer, and one in China this past winter. One of my favorite parts of going abroad is creating unforgettable memories I fondly look back on and would love to share that joy with others! I aim to be a source of support to fellow students so feel free to reach out if anything!
