Lauren Dempsey
Lauren has been fascinated by different languages and cultures from a young age. Inspired by Shakira, she decided to teach herself Spanish at the age of 15. She was awarded her Bachelors of Arts in Internation Languages from University College Dublin Ireland, specialising in Spanish, German and Portuguese.
Following her degree, she spent two years living in Berlin, where she gained invaluable experience working for a travel journalism start-up, as well as an organic supermarket and Irish pub. In early 2021, a prolonged cold spell that at times plummeted to lows of -15°C made her think that maybe it was time for a change. She obtained her Level 5 TEFL Certificate and moved to stunning and sunny Barcelona. She worked as an English language teacher before joining the team.
