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

Something most people wouldn’t assume about me is that I love to draw and really enjoy learning about art history. My favorite period is romanticism. Another fun fact is that my birthday is April Fools Day!

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

I am most excited to experience the trips with my abroad program to Vienna and Berlin. It will be be amazing to be able to travel with all of my peers. Also, I have never been out of North America and I am so excited to truly experience and integrate myself into other cultures.

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

From a young age, I’ve been captivated by the idea of studying abroad. My grandparents’ stories of their global travels sparked a certain wanderlust in me that has only grown over the years. I chose DU in part because of its accessibility to study abroad programs, which allows me to see one of my lifelong dreams become a reality.
