What is your proudest accomplishment to date?

My proudest accomplishment to date would have to be becoming a student blogger, I have never had a position like this before, and I was eager to apply because I love to make content and I think it's a great opportunity to participate.

Why did you choose Arcadia?

I chose Arcadia because I fell in love with their study abroad program, and it felt like the right choice for me. The atmosphere, faculty, staff, and student leaders were very welcoming, and I felt I was actually looked at as an individual, not just a number on campus.

What are you most looking forward to?

I am most looking forward to studying abroad next semester in London. I am excited to step outside my comfort zone, make new friends and memories, and grow close to those with whom I am studying abroad. I am also excited to see how this experience will shape my time here at Arcadia.

What do you hope to accomplish at Arcadia?

I hope to continue to step outside my comfort zone and challenge myself to do the things I wish to do. I hope to get involved in community service, community-based work-study, and internships/work-study. Lastly, I hope to always stay true to my heart, have fun, and make the most of my experience here at Arcadia.

What else should we know?

I can't wait to study abroad in London!!!
