Alonso De La Fuente

Director, Academic Records in Austin, United States

Alonso joined ISA in August of 2004. He is a graduate from the University of Texas at Austin where he attained a Bachelor's Degree in Hispanic Studies, as well as a Latin American Studies degree with a concentration in Business and Economics. He spent the first several years of his life growing up in northern Mexico. Eager to return to Mexico, he studied abroad at the Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM) in Mexico City on two occasions in conjunction with his studies at UT Austin. Alonso had the opportunity to travel throughout Mexico and to observe the many cultural and regional differences that make the country so intriguing. He enjoys traveling, exercising, spending time outdoors, among other hobbies. His travels have also led him to the Caribbean, including the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic. He believes that traveling abroad allows us to get a real "look" at the way people live throughout the world and gives us the opportunity to experience and immerse ourselves in their cultures. Alonso is a firm believer that experiences like these will indubitably enhance our view of the world and of each other.
