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

I love to play games! I spend a lot of time on my Xbox 360 trying to beat my sister at Just Dance and on my 3DS taking care of my Miis on Tomodachi Life.

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

I’m anticipating the professional opportunities I’ll come across abroad. I’m doing an internship and looking forward to working with my employer and peers.

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

The idea of “YOLO” was the ultimate factor. I initially wasn’t planning on studying abroad but I realized that I was fortunate to be at an institution that supports the experience and I should probably take advantage of the experience. The institution I picked abroad offers an internship program and that’s what solidified my choice in the end!

I want them to know that I love all the details! I love to look for the small things, like the colors of the doors here or the foods at the markets.

I will explore! I’m in a place that I’ve dreamed of for years, and I want to experience as much as I can!

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

I’ve always wanted to go to France, ever since I was a little girl. Aix was the perfect spot for me because it wasn’t a big city, and they have great arts programs.
