Study Abroad Interns

Study Abroad Interns are Geneseo students who have previously studied abroad. These students hold drop-in peer advising hours and offer their time to assist current Geneseo students in selecting the right program, working through the application process, and learning specifics about their respective programs.

Finally, I am on the President's Sustainability Commission and am a member of three honor societies. 

Why are you excited to be an intern?

Having studied abroad myself and getting to experience the incredible doors it can open, I am excited to have this opportunity to help guide students as they navigate their experiences abroad and readjust to being back. 

Fun Facts:

I used to be a competitive Team USA ice dancer and am an only-child. 

 
Why did I decide to study abroad?

I had always wanted to travel abroad and fully experience a culture different from my own, so when the opportunity to combine my student ambassadorship award with the FSD Uganda Fieldwork program, I knew that I had to go. There are so many aspects of culture that you cannot pick up just by reading about them, so getting out there and experiencing this cultural immersion first-hand was really important to me. 

What’s next on your travel bucket list?

After graduation, I plan to pursue professional experience abroad and graduate school. In the meantime, I would love to explore more of the African and Asian continents.
