Program Advisors
Bienvenidos from Oaxaca, Mexico! Left to right you will find our amazing Intrax Program Advisors:
Hope Viers, Blaze Chase, Teresa Todoroff, Elanna Mariniello and Brian Waldron.
The five of us (plus Brynn Utela, not pictured) make up the Sales Team based in Oaxaca. We spend our days advising students and other participants about our volunteer, intern and study programs that Intrax and our sister organization, ProWorld, have to offer. When we're not busy at work, we're taking Spanish classes, going for hikes in the mountains, cooking delicious food, relaxing outside or surfing on the beach.
