What class are you most looking forward to taking while studying abroad?
While I took Spanish courses over the past few years, this is my first time studying the language in Spain. I'm taking a course called ‘’Advanced Spanish.’’ The course provides the ideal environment for language immersion and also involves excursions which I'm sure will provide enjoyable and educational experiences.

What's something you're passionate and excited about? (Hobbies, interests, causes, etc.)?
I've always felt passionate about soccer, so I'm aiming to play with others while in Barcelona, a city that is home to one of the best clubs in the world. Recently, I signed up for the Barcelona Soccer League and am excited to play alongside other study abroad students!

What is one new experience you're hoping to have while studying abroad?
I'm hoping to engage with locals in Spanish as this will really help me hone my speaking skills. While learning in the classroom is extremely useful, I believe putting concepts into practice will help me become more comfortable with the language.

why did you choose to study or intern abroad? And why did you choose your destination?
Cultural exchange and learning languages are extremely important to me. As a child I was blessed with the opportunity to attend a French school. I fell in love with the multicultural environment, and since then, have sought opportunities to learn about different cultures and languages. When I found out about the opportunity to study in Barcelona, I knew I had to take it. Because not only will I get the opportunity to develop my Spanish skills, but I'll also learn more about the city’s fascinating culture.
