INTERESTS

I am passionate about exploring diverse cultures and environments through travel. I chose to take a semester abroad and move to Sorrento, Italy for a few months. Discovering new perspectives and embracing the value of global experience is important to me. I learned so much in my time abroad and feel that I bring new mindsets and cultural awareness to diverse professional settings.
