Why you chose your major

I started as an engineering major but when I took some ace classes I found out what I really love to study.

Favorite and/or most impactful course

GEOG 140 Human Geography. It's the class that made me realize I was in the wrong major.

Research or internship experience

I'm an intern at an immigration law firm and the experiences I have gained so far by working there are unimaginable.

Other involvement

Volunteer ambassador with Slice, Clubs: Rotary International, Brazilian Student Association.

Why you chose Nebraska

UNL has a pretty diverse campus and incentives for international students.
