Mallory Pool

My name is Mallory Pool. I am a student at Oklahoma State University studying journalism and communications. From a young age, I always loved reading and writing. I knew that in the future, I would be doing it as a career.

Malaga, Spain
Hi! My name is Emma Knutty, and I am currently a third-year student at the University of Pittsburgh. I am studying anthropology, global health, and Spanish. I hope to improve my Spanish language skills and learn more about the local culture in Málaga. I want to utilize my background knowledge in anthropology to understand the differences between cultural ways in the United States and Spain and portray those differences through my blog posts. I love to travel, hang out with friends, try new cuisines, listen to music, and exercise.
Cameron Weller
Seattle Pacific University
Berlin, Germany
Hi all! I’m Cameron. I am a biochemie (biochemistry) bachelor at SPU. I am starting the ISA program in Berlin to get the language learning credits required by my university. The program here with ISA is both faster and cheaper than (or at least on par with) three quarters at SPU! So it was a no-brainer to go. Aside from doing biochemistry research and scientific work, I also have many technical hobbies. I fly drones and tinker/design lots of stuff.

Anya Sesay
Harvard University
Valparaiso, Chile
Hey y’all! My name is Anya Sesay, and I wanna tell stories. For this purpose, I often call myself a journalist. But more accurately, I am a woman who has seen words create beauty and who has used them for this same purpose: to exhume suppressed truths, to paint joy where loneliness had once marked its place, to imagine a world beyond the mundanity to which we’ve grown accustomed. This summer, I’ll be in Chile, putting words to all the beauty I’ve breathed in and all of the lessons I will carry with me. Hope you enjoy. <3
