Χαίρετε! Being born and raised in Greece, I was always amazed interacting with internationals who were visiting our beautiful island of Kefalonia. I truly believe in the transformational impact of intercultural experiences, and it is very rewarding for me when I see this impact on NAU students returning from their study abroad programs. I am looking forward to helping you get started on your study abroad journey. The world awaits!

Breanna Manning-Romero
Education Abroad Student Employee
My name is Breanna Manning-Romero and I am an elementary education major. I have studied abroad in Granada, Spain and would love to study abroad again for my master’s degree, perhaps somewhere like Italy! A fun fact about myself is I am learning Portuguese because I’d love to visit Brazil. I would like to help students study abroad by sharing my own experience and everything I learned and how transformative it can be.
