Andrea Torres Lopez - Associate Director of Admissions

Andrea Torres Lopez has spent the past decade working in student recruitment and building meaningful connections with students, families, and schools across Canada and Latin America. Before joining Brentwood, she worked at Royal Roads University in Victoria, where she developed creative ways to connect with future students, parents, counselors, and key partners. Her favourite part of the job has always been meeting students, learning their stories, and helping them find the right fit for their next adventure.

Originally from Bogotá, Colombia, Andrea speaks both English and Spanish and has a passion for travel, education, and building bridges across cultures. She has represented her institutions at events around the world and loves the energy of working with people and seeing them grow. Andrea is excited to be part of the Brentwood community and to welcome new students and families to campus. Outside of work, you will find her planning her next trip, walking her dog Tofino, or exploring the outdoors on Vancouver Island.

James Boswell - Associate Director of Admissions

Originally from England, James Boswell brings an impressive breadth of expertise to our team, spanning both secondary and post-secondary recruitment.

Notably, his prior tenure at the University of Toronto involved coordinating International Programs, providing him with a sophisticated understanding of global educational transitions.

In addition to his professional background, James is fluent in both French and Spanish, and has lived in multiple countries—an excellent contextual background for our campus culture where 50+ countries are represented among our students at any given time.

Outside of work, James loves to travel the world and can likely be found on his bike or exploring Vancouver Island and the neighbouring Gulf Islands with his dog Ella. He is also an avid reader and likes to unwind with a good book.
