Thriving Abroad
My study abroad experience in Switzerland was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that profoundly impacted my personal and academic growth. Studying Global Health and Development Policy in Geneva allowed me to immerse myself in a world of knowledge, challenge my limits, and grow in ways I never imagined.
