International Experience: I’ve been fortunate enough to have traveled internationally numerous times with my family (mainly to Europe) because I have relatives in Switzerland. However, as my interest in language grew, I enjoyed traveling to Spanishspeaking countries more, such as the Dominican Republic and Guatemala. My most memorable trip was a month-long homestay program in southern Spain the summer going into junior year. Aside from traveling, I also love learning about international affairs by reading the news and being a Model United Nations delegate. Personal Interests/Hobbies: I love spending time with friends and keeping busy while also allowing myself time to relax sometimes. Some of my favorite things to do include reading, trying new restaurants, going to concerts, musicals, and museums, and watching baseball and football games. Also, I enjoy not only playing music on instruments like the piano and drums, but I love listening to basically every genre, especially rap and R&B.
