== International Experience ==
I am a firm believer that as this world is becoming more interconnected across continents, we can't afford to be left behind. I have studied abroad for one summer in Arusha, Tanzania. This was a study and a service trip as I committed 20 hours to serving in an HIV clinic during my time abroad. I also have plans to spend 'm currently taking a semester abroad in Ecuador to study social entrepreneurship in fall 2016a global setting. My comfort zone and my Spanish-speaking skills are being stretched every day in the best of ways. These experiences have and will continue to give me a broader worldview and an understanding of cultures which are different from my own. I also plan to apply for the Fulbright scholarship upon completion of my undergraduate coursework to spend a fully-funded year abroad working, volunteering, or furthering my education.
