I am a junior majoring in REEES, French, and Professional Writing. I recently returned from spending a semester abroad in Chambery, France at the Universite Savoie Mont Blanc. Later on in my college career, I hope to study abroad in Russia as well. I do not yet know what I wish to do with all of my studies, but I find such organizations as the Peace Corps, the U.N., and the Foreign Service very interesting.

I’m a junior REEES (Russian, Eastern European, and Eurasian Studies) major and a cadet in the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps. I am planning on studying abroad to Kyrgyzstan over the summer of 2018. After graduating, I’ll be commissioning as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Air Force.

I am currently a sophomore studying Political Science and REEES. I plan on studying abroad during the summer of 2019 in either Estonia or Lithuania. I am currently a reservist in the U.S. Navy and plan on mobilizing after graduation, with an end goal to end up working for the FBI or the State Department.
