Hola amigos! I’m Jen Aceto and I’m a junior at UCLA, originally from the San Francisco Bay Area. I’m majoring in Communications Studies and minoring in Spanish. I love food and cooking (but mostly eating), hiking and being outdoors, yoga, and reading and writing. At UCLA I’m active in my sorority (Chi Omega) and I’m also a campus tour guide. I fell in love with Spanish when I took my first class in seventh grade, and have continued to love learning about the culture, food, and people of Spanish-speaking countries. I always hoped to study abroad and ultimately chose Sevilla because I watched one too many Rick Steves about the south of Spain (ha) and fell in love with the sunshine, siestas, tapas, sangria, flamenco... I’ll be taking classes for my minor at the University of Sevilla and hope to come home fluent in Spanish—and finally able to roll my “r”s! I want to become fully immersed in this new culture and get outside my comfort zone to learn as much as I can about the history and people of Spain. I’m looking forward to sharing my experience with other prospective study abroad students!
