More About

During my undergraduate career at UGA, I dedicated my studies to Latin American languages and cultures. For this reason, I obtained several scholarships, notably Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) scholarships, upon consideration by UGA’s Latin American and Caribbean Studies Institute (LACSI).

I had the opportunity to study abroad in Brazil twice, the first time as a student in an intensive summer language program and the second time as a Portuguese Flagship student. Through my participation in the Portuguese Flagship Program, I spent 10 months in Brazil, where I was able to take classes with Brazilian students and have an internship in the city of Manaus.
