Why did you choose to study or intern abroad?
Studying abroad has always been a dream of mine. I come from a very Irish town in New York, and grew up hearing about Galway, Ireland. I always had it set in my mind that I would end up here one day. So when it came time to apply to study abroad programs, there was no doubt in my mind that it had to be Galway.

What IS ONE NEW EXPERIENCE YOU'RE HOPING TO HAVE WHILE ABROAD?
I hope to get out of my comfort zone more and just say yes to every experience offered to me.

WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU'RE PASSIONATE AND EXCITED ABOUT?
I am very passionate about photography so I am excited to be able to continue this hobby in Ireland. I also have a deep love for music, especially Irish music. Being able to go around to all the pubs listening to trad sessions is something I am so excited about.

What CLASS ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO TAKING while ABROAD?
Any history courses! I am a history education major and find Irish history fascinating so I am excited for any Irish history courses I’ll be taking.
