Staff Profiles

Alejandro Rched - Operations Director

Alejandro Rched

I studied Economics in college and went on to receive a Masters in Finance. After graduation, I worked on government research projects looking at public debt and for Price Waterhouse Coopers as an analyst. During this time I did some traveling abroad, and realized that being truly immersed in different cultures is an invaluable experience that profoundly changes the way we think, letting us view the world through a different lens.

Countries visited

Europe, USA, Mexiko, the Caribbean, Venezuela, Brasilien, Peru, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay.

Why I work for Expanish

We created Expanish with the hope of helping others realize the cultural immersion experience.

Agustin Vignale - Commercial Director

Agustin Vignale

I studied Business Economics at the Torcuato Di Tella University, during which time I also worked on fundraising and public relations for the Fundación Iniciativa, promoting youth participation in society. After graduation, I worked as a Business Consultant at Proguide, and then spent time working and traveling overseas, mainly in New Zealand and Southeast Asia, where I worked in Business Process Reengineering (BPR) and as a Coordinator at the Auckland City Council. I helped found Expanish after returning from my travels, and as a result of my experiences abroad.

Countries visited

Laos, Neuseeland, Vietnam, Brasilien, Thailand, Malaysia, Bolivien, Cambodia, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentinien.

Why I work for Expanish

My experience abroad helped me realize how important it is to be immersed in the culture surrounding a language, rather than just sitting in a classroom with fellow foreigners. Contact with locals, volunteer work, and hands-on activities are vital experiences while studying abroad, which we have tried to reflect in the organization mission.

During my junior year, I studied abroad here in Buenos Aires and, like many of my co-workers, fell in love with the city and people. After graduating, I moved back to work and live. I have now been here for over 6 years working in international education by teaching languages, advising students, marketing programs and admissions.

Layne Johnson - Admissions Advisor

Layne Johnson

I grew up in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia and was exposed to cultural exchange at an early age when my parents decided to host foreign exchange students in our house. I loved meeting people from other countries, and I thought it was fascinating that people around the world spoke so many different languages. I always knew I would study abroad as soon as I had the chance, so when I was studying Political Science and Human Rights at Agnes Scott College, I participated in two different study abroad experiences, both in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I fell in love with the city and the Latin American culture, and I love the challenge of living my daily life in a second language. Besides working at Expanish, I am also a certified lifeguard and swim instructor and in my free time I like reading, baking and watching movies

I was born in Buenos Aires, and I always loved traveling, meeting new people and learning about other cultures. Despite of graduating from university with a degree in Advertising, I developed my career in the tourism industry. When I went on vacation in Patagonia, I decided to stay and live in Ushuaia where I worked for a couple of years in Hospitality. After that I moved to New York City, where I lived for six years and worked as a tour guide. Before moving back to Argentina for good, I spent a long vacation in Spain as well. In Argentina I have worked in Educational Tourism, and now I´m very glad to be part of Expanish!
