Kris Reiser advances the university’s growth through research and official communications with donors, prospective students, alumni, and partners as the Strategy & Impact Associate. Kris is a graduate from Boise State University, with her Bachelors of Arts in both French and Spanish, and minors in German and Japanese Studies. While going to college, she developed a keen interest for different cultures and to be able to communicate while exploring them. To develop her language skills, Kris worked and lived in Morocco for four years. This experience led her to pursue her Masters of Arts in International Relations, with a specialization in Security and Development from the Universidad Autónoma Barcelona.

Kris has thrived by working cross culturally and has taught staff and students how to engage and grow locally. She continues to live in the Barcelona area, in her personal time she enjoys hiking around the green spaces of her community, trying new cuisines, and traveling to lesser-known locations to experience local culture.
