Start of Salamanca #HogsAbroad


I have been dreaming about studying abroad in a Spanish speaking country for as long as I can remember AND I can’t believe it’s finally here! I am excited beyond words!

A little bit about myself…

I am from Overland Park, Kansas but decided to explore universities outside of Kansas. After going to Kanakuk Kamps (a Christian camp) for seven years, I became great friends with counselors from the U of A and knew that I would love the community at the University. After touring campus, I knew that the University of Arkansas would provide me with the most amazing opportunities, and has continued to exceed my expectations over and over again.

As a recent Retail major and International Business minor, I am thrilled to immerse myself into a new culture and finally pursue my dream of studying abroad. I will be taking business classes while I’m there, along with participating in an ‘intercambio’ program. This will improve my Spanish with the help of speaking Spanish with a Spaniard who I can help improve their English as well. I hope to come back bilingual and better market myself for potential employers.

During my internship hunt, I hope for the opportunity to further my passion of working for a fashion company and apply my international business knowledge.
