HOMETOWN Alameda, Calif.

WHERE SHE’S STUDYING Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland

WHY SHE CHOSE IRELAND “I fell in love with Dublin and Trinity College during a family vacation to Ireland in 2011. As an Irish American, I want to explore more in-depth the country and the culture from which my family has come.”

WHAT SHE’S MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO “I can’t wait to return to Dublin, but this time I will be able to explore so much more of the city than I would have been able to on a vacation. I am also looking forward to traveling to other amazing European destinations.”

WHY SHE’S BLOGGING “I want to share my experience with my friends and family back home. I also want to have a record of my adventures this year.”
