American University of Rome
Rome, Italy; Summer 2019
For 4 weeks I was privileged enough to study at the American University of Rome in Italy studying the Italian Mafia and Concepts in Marketing and Communication. These courses helped me understand how aspects of culture and history affect different areas of modern life such as commerce. With help from instructors, I explored the way different cultures approach work, health, and social interactions. This experience helped me expand my perspective and grow in cultural competence as an aspiring clinician who will interact with clients of diverse backgrounds.
Arcadia University
Athens, Greece; Summer 2017
Before entering my first Fall semester of undergrad, I participated in the First Year Experience hosted by ODU which took me to Athens, Greece to study philosophy and oceanography. Being able to take samples from various beaches in Greece and learn about ancient philosophers and their theories at the schools where they originally taught was a humbling experience. The lessons I learned in ethics influence my motivations and methods for health service delivery as a future clinician. Classes in oceanography also impacted my goals in speech therapy by influencing the way I advocate for hands-on interaction with the learning materials.
