I am a student at NCSU studying Elementary Education. My hobbies include spending time with kids, drinking coffee and staying afloat in college! I am an avid traveler who has a deep appreciation for culture and religion. I love to learn about different beliefs and immerse myself into others shoes. I also have a deep love for food! My dad and I share this quality and I am very excited to experience all of the pizza and pasta in Italy! I also am an animal lover...leaving my puppies will be one of the hardest parts of studying abroad! Who knows, I may return with a dog or two...sorry Mom! :)
