Why Global Studies and Spanish?
I'm studying my majors because I've always been interested in learning about other cultures and exploring the world. I fell in love with Global Studies after taking GLST 201 -- Intro to Global Studies. I was fascinated by the diverse cultures and the unique politics and history of other countries. My biggest piece of advice for new majors would be to take a chance and take classes that interest you! I had no idea I would become a Global Studies major until I randomly decided to take a Global Studies class I was curious about.
Post-Graduation Plans
After graduation, I hope to attend PA school, but I'm also interested in global health and possibly completing a Master's in Public Health.
Study Abroad Experience
Last semester, I studied abroad in Valparaíso, Chile learning about politics, history, and community development. I had an absolute blast and learned so much about Chilean culture as well as improved my Spanish-speaking abilities. I would highly recommend studying abroad to every student, regardless of their major. It definitely allowed me to gain more confidence and independence, and I formed relationships that will last me a lifetime! I'm also involved in the University Program Council, which brings diverse and entertaining events to the UNL community. This organization has taught me how to effectively communicate and plan events.
