Growing up I would sit for hours listening to my dad's experiences living abroad. This sparked my goal of studying abroad and I am fortunate to take this journey in Copenhagen, Denmark. I hope to immerse myself in Danish culture, make new friends and grow my international mindset that will serve me throughout my life.
