What is something you would like the blog readers to know about you that they wouldn’t know by just looking at you?

Traveling abroad for the first time ever, after facing a cancer diagnosis during the beginning of my college education.

What is one thing that you are most anticipating about your study abroad experience?

My program provides us with an internship! I feel like working during a study abroad program isn’t as promoted. This opportunity can really help me figure out what I want to do professionally and where.

Why did you decide to study abroad? or What inspired you to study abroad?

I decided to study abroad because it wasn’t an opportunity I had prior to this year. I’m inspired to do this because I didn’t think I’d be capable to at all, and now that I can, I don’t want to pass it by and graduate without being able to say I went abroad.

My sophomore year roommate joined me in visiting my hometown, El Paso, TX during spring break 2021. El Paso is vibrant with culture, as it is sister cities with Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
