What motivated you to apply for this program?
“My main motivation for studying abroad is to become a better Spanish speaker.”
What motivated you to choose Spain?

What organizations are you involved in on campus?
“Right now, I am a member of the Suffolk Mock Trial team, a senator in the Student Government Association, and a Politics, Philosophy, and Economics combined major.”
What are your future career goals?
“After I graduate from the Suffolk undergrad program, I would like to continue on to law school, most likely in the Boston area. I would then like to become an attorney. Some areas of law that interest me are family law and environmental law. I would also possibly like to become a judge.”
What are some of the places/things on your bucket list?
“Some things on my bucket list are to travel more (go to every continent), learn a new language, run a marathon, and do more things outside of my comfort zone.”
What is your favorite quote?
