I have been doing ballet since I was little. Besides ballet, I love other types of dance. I often take hip hop at DU. I also love reading. You can always find me with a book.

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

I am excited to explore Taipei and the other cities in Taiwan. Taiwan is so pretty because it has a lot of mountains and beaches.

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

I decided to study abroad in Taiwan because I want to immerse myself in the Chinese language so I can drastically improve my speaking skills. I want to practice my Chinese everyday, and studying abroad in Taiwan is the best way to do that. I also haven’t been to Asia, so I am excited to spend time in Taiwan.
