Xavier University of Louisiana
Alicante, Spain
Why did you choose to study or intern abroad?
The choice to study abroad stems from my desire to learn multiple languages and immerse myself within various cultures. As an aspiring physician, I believe that appreciating another's background and experiences contribute to the bridging of health gaps existent in several communities.
Why did you choose your study/intern destination?
Having learned the Spanish language, I knew that studying in a predominantly Spanish-speaking area would be the most beneficial. The city of Alicante is relatively small and promises and intimate glimpse of local customs and traditions.
What CLASS ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO TAKING while ABROAD?
I am fortunate enough to have a semester that focuses strictly on Spanish! I look forward to improving my understanding and appreciation of the language in its entirety.
WHAT IS SOMETHING you're passionate and excited about?
I love singing! I am very active in worship leadership at my local church and enjoy writing music with my friends during my free time.
