M.A. Sustainability
Management Center Innsbruck, Austria Summer 2023
Through the opportunities provided to me by HPU and MCI in Innsbruck, I was able to plan a summer full of weeks of travel surrounding a month of career and friendship building experiences in Innsbruck. Including Austria, I was able to travel through parts of England, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, while learning, seeing, and meeting new experiences and people. I took the Data Science course in Innsbruck while working my existing full-time remote job. I made efforts to engage anytime I could with the in person classmates so I could still experience Innsbruck and its surrounding areas with these students from Mexico, Florida, England, South Africa, Germany, and Canada. I am profoundly grateful for the lessons and experiences I learned beyond the virtual classroom, which I will proudly carry with me as I continue seeing the world I fell in love with this past June.

B.S. Diplomacy Military Studies
University of Mannheim, Germany Spring 2017
Given the opportunity to study abroad during my time at HPU was an enriching, rewarding, and unforgettable experience. From the cultural intricacies of food, language, and daily life, to extensive travels around Europe was a dream come true. The German way of life is one of a kind and cannot be compared so easily. The boat load of greasy food and liters of beer do not begin to describe this experience.The people are kind and patient, the atmosphere is warm and busy (except on Sundays….), and the history extensive! My experience in Germany and more specifically Mannheim was beneficial because it was the chance of a lifetime. Without a doubt, I would do it again and recommend to all who haven't dared consider studying abroad to reconsider. You'll have a long lasting regret if you decide against it. My grandfather once told me: “Personal growth does not occur until you step out of your comfort zone.” So find the courage, explore, and have fun.
Viel Glück und Auf Wiedersehen,

BA Multimedia Cinematic Production
University Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Italy Spring 2016
Studying abroad in Italy was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I absolutely loved my professors, the courses, city of Milan, UCSC, and traveling through Italy and Europe! While there, I got to meet relatives that still live in Southern Italy and spend Easter with them. During my time abroad, I learned how to speak Italian, saw incredible pieces of art, and traveled to major cities such as Venice, Florence, Rome and Naples. I also was able to travel to Switzerland, France, Denmark and Spain! I made a video about my experience you can watch in the video above.
