My favorite experience at UIUC was undoubtedly studying abroad in Granada, Spain. It was an incredible opportunity that allowed me to immerse myself in a new language and culture, and gain a whole new perspective on the world. Not only did I get to travel and explore different parts of Europe, but I also met amazing people from all over the world and made lifelong memories that I will cherish forever.

Above is a photo of me at Mount Zermatt in Zermatt, Switzerland. During my abroad program I had to opportunity to go on a 10 day trip where I was able to visit, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
