Lourdes Flores
Quest Student 1994, Staff Member 1996


School: Stanford University Major: International Relations

Lourdes comes from a Mexican migrant family and she and her older sister were the first ones in her family to attend college. Lourdes writes that participating in the Stanford Quest Program changed her life, offering opportunities she did not think possible such as attending Stanford. While at Stanford she studied International Relations, focusing on the economics and politics of the European Union and Italy. Lourdes graduated in 1999 and continued on to the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University to earn her Master's in International Relations in 2002. Shortly after graduation, Lourdes married and moved to live in Italy to work alongside her husband Stefano in a company called WebPromoter, which specializes in Search Engine Marketing services for their local Italian clients.
