Miguel Prieto-Valle

Academic Advisor

I’m a lifelong learner who’s very grateful for the interesting opportunities and challenges that have helped me become the educator and advocate I am today. I bring over two decades of experience as an educator, including four years as an Academic Advisor in the College of Arts and Sciences at UK

Outside of work I’m an avid solar cook, meditation practitioner, certified yoga instructor, and a passionate tennis fan and player, with a background in coaching at the high school level. My love of languages has enhanced my opportunities to travel and live in many different countries, and I moved to Lexington to work at UK after nearly a decade teaching and working in Germany, France, and Italy.

Whether listening attentively, leading a yoga class, solving someone’s tech troubles (often my own), or experimenting with solar cooking, I like to be collaborative and curious, some of the qualities I help bring out in others. I look forward to getting to know you, learning together, and supporting each other to advance our important work.
