Born and raised for 9 years in Hawaii, I was exposed to diverse cultures early on. As such, I have always valued traveling and exploring in order to gain a deeper understanding of the world's different cultures. I chose to study abroad in order to continue this sense of adventure.

Studying abroad in Australia is also a huge leap outside of my comfort zone, from which I hope to grow and learn more about the world and my place in it. As a Chemical Engineering major, I did not think I would be able to do an entire semester abroad. When the opportunity presented itself to study at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, I could not pass it up
