Laura Constantinescu
Western Washington University
Barcelona, Spain | Internship
My name is Laura, and my individuality stems from two distinct worlds: bridging the gap between my American roots and Romanian heritage. Born to immigrant parents, I have been fortunate to inherit the cultural attributes of my family while embracing the opportunities that come with my American upbringing. A unique fact about me is I love racket sports because they have allowed me to develop agility, strategy, and teamwork, keys to creating successful relationships.

London, England
Hi! My name is Makenzie, and I’m a fourth-year student studying at the University of Westminster. Pursuing degrees in art education and psychology, my post-baccalaureate dream is to become an art therapist. Beyond the books, you’ll find me outdoors or exploring some sort of creative outlet—bonus points if it involves a paint brush. I am looking forward to blending my passions for photography and academia in a new city!

Paola Medina
Seattle University
Florence, Italy
Hello, my name is Paola. I am from Seattle, Washington, and currently studying abroad in Florence, Italy. I was really nervous to be abroad, as this would be my first time away from home, but my time here has been amazing. I have gotten to travel to so many new places, meet new people, eat new foods, and learn about different cultures. Some fun facts about me are that I have a passion for going to the gym, my favorite food is chicken, and I love doing crossword puzzles.
