Tell us something about yourself that most people don't know: I plan to live abroad again after graduating. I got the travel bug my junior year at St. Thomas while I studied abroad in Rome, Italy and I am looking for an opportunity to live and work abroad again.
Name something you like about St. Thomas: I love the people at St. Thomas. I have been blessed to meet so many wonderful people here, whether they are a friend, acquaintance, classmate, professor, etc. I am from Wisconsin and I am a firm believer in "Minnesota nice". Living so far away from home has been a challenge but I have truly made a home for myself here at St. Thomas, and I don't believe that would have been possible if I wasn't surrounded by so many truly caring people.
