The opportunity to study abroad made me a more confident person. I'm no longer afraid to explore or live in new places because I know I can adapt and live like a local. My world has opened up after three valuable months abroad, and this program reaffirmed my decision to major in International Studies. It helped me connect with new cultures and convinced me that I want to pursue an international career path.
As an aspiring environmental engineer and a student of color, I want to revamp current civil systems for rural and developing communities through renewable energy, green infrastructure, sustainable materials, and better water, electric, and broadband networks. I want to redefine engineering to be not only about projects but more about the people they serve.
Living outside of the United States in a place completely different from home reinforced my sense of independence and fortified my understanding of the world around me.
