I am a junior at Kalamazoo College in Kalamazoo, Michigan, currently studying abroad in Athens through the program College Year Athens (CYA). I major in English and Philosophy with a minor in Political Science and a concentration in American Studies. While in Athens, I’m studying theater, urban studies, and archaeology. I am so grateful for this opportunity, and I truly believe my experience in Athens will be life-changing. Being able to partake in experiential learning through on-site exploration has expanded and developed my understanding of different cultures and environments. I want to give a huge thank you so my parents, my school, and the IFSA scholarship for making this all possible.
