Caroline (Kiki) Giles
Kiki Giles is a rising international education professional whose passion for cross-cultural connection took root during her study abroad experience in Rabat, Morocco with IES Abroad. As a student at Wellesley College majoring in Political Science and Middle Eastern Studies, Kiki deepened her understanding of diplomacy and education while interning with the IES Abroad Rabat Center, where she supported program logistics, student life, and immersive learning experiences. Her commitment to fostering inclusive and transformative global experiences has led her to further internships and a continued focus on interfaith dialogue, women’s rights, and youth engagement in the Middle East and North Africa region. With warmth, curiosity, and a clear dedication to global learning, Kiki is poised to make a lasting impact in the field of international education.
“My experiences with study abroad, academically and professionally, have shown me how study abroad makes global experiences so much more accessible to the students of today. Without my experiences at IES Abroad, I and thousands of other students wouldn’t have been able to accomplish so many of our goals. Now, as I prepare to continue my studies abroad with an MA in Advanced Migration Studies at the University of Copenhagen, I am eager to continue contributing to our international community.”Caroline (Kiki) Giles
