Holli Barrett

International Programs Coordinator

Holli, an experienced leader and educator, has spent over two decades in multicultural and multilingual educational settings. Her career is built on a passion for nurturing lifelong learners and global citizens, a passion sparked during her childhood in Nebraska. This early interest led her to pursue a double major in Spanish and International Studies and participate in student exchange programs in Venezuela and Costa Rica. Holli eventually settled in Heredia, Costa Rica, in 2007, where she and her husband now raise their two amazing children.

Holli first joined Intercultura in 2015, working in Student Services and HR before becoming the International Programs Coordinator. She now manages and oversees all aspects of international study abroad programs for adults and teens, from initial design to on-site operations. In this role, she works closely with various departments and external partners to ensure high-quality experiences for students, chaperones, and teachers.

Holli’s favorite part of her job is being in a multilingual and multicultural environment every day. She enjoys helping students adjust to a new culture, developing programs, and contributing to the school’s growth. In her free time, Holli enjoys gardening, cooking, sewing, and exploring with her family.
