Braxton Brown
Edgewood College
Granada, Spain | Service-Learning

My name is Braxton, and I am a student at Edgewood College in Madison, WI, where I study Child & Family Studies and Spanish. Although I love my life in the Midwest, I also enjoy traveling and getting out to see other corners of the world! Some of my favorite adventures since being in college include Spring Break trips to Colorado and a summer mission trip to Japan in 2023. In my free time back home, I love doing anything outside, golfing (I play on my school team!), watching movies, and reading.
