Lucía grew up between Madrid and Texas, learning to describe “nice” things as ‘fetén’ and to address a group of two or more people as “y’all”. She has been a part of Vaughan Systems since 2009 and has worked in almost all its programs – she’s taught In-Company, kids and adults in Particulares and on the Humanities program. She’s also worked for an extended period of time developing materials with the R&D department and has been an on-air teacher on Vaughan Radio.

A Brazilian girl with an Italian name who has lived all over the world and is now teaching English in Spain – talk about being a global citizen! After traveling for a full year and visiting over 40 countries she got a job at Vaughan and moved to Madrid in the summer of 2015. Her first experience with VaughanTown was that very same summer as a volunteer and she fell in love with the program. One year later she joined the team as a PD. As laid back as they come, Giovanna is chill about almost anything but knows when to not take any nonsense!

A Guatemalan transplant in Spain, she only joined Vaughan Systems in the summer of 2015 but before that, she lived in such exotic and diverse places as the Bayou parishes of Louisiana, Normandy, France, or Thailand. She will strike you as polite and ever-smiling but don’t let the sugarcoating fool you: she can be tough when she needs to be! She is a traveler, nature and animal lover who also holds advanced degrees in the field of Biology. So if you’ve never really understood photosynthesis, when you meet her is a good time to ask about it!

From Leicester, England, he lived to travel until he got to Spain in Sept 2008 where he was seduced by the heat and Spanish tortilla. To keep himself out of trouble and off the streets, he came to Vaughan a year later. During his travels, he challenged a Mexican in a chilli eating contest, he lost. And word on the street is, he can play a didgeridoo!

Born and raised in Madrid, she joined us in summer of 2012 having heard about Vaughan from Pete. She has lived in different countries like Canada, England and France.
Despite her rocky start in Vaughan arriving late to the meeting point in her first program, it has been smooth sailing since! We also heard that the alarm has been thrown away and is being kicked around under a bridge somewhere in Madrid.

Alba was born in Melilla, a small city in the north of Africa. She´s an all singing, dancing, story- telling, bundle of energy kinda gal. As a child, she loved talking with anybody in any language at any time. Her mum realized very early on that she was not shy. At age 15, she was sent off to Finland to present a Comenius Project then afterwards, she travelled to Cambridge and studied at the Kings College.
Yes! That’s why her English is great! To top it all off, she studied drama in the Royal School of Drama in Madrid. You ask yourself, what was her next step, obviously Vaughan. The perfect job and a dream come true.
