I am hoping to come to Italy for a month in February before starting work fulltime!

Description

When I was a junior in high school, nearly six years ago now, I was an exchange student with Rotary International and studied in Cremona, Italy for 11 months.

Ever since I lived as an exchange student, I’ve been able to realize how similar people are across the globe and across cultures. When I go abroad now, I am able to take this knowledge with me, and I find it makes me feel a lot more at ease and at home during my world travels, especially when faced with adventurous situations. Just over a month ago I returned to Chicago after traveling for a month in Southeast Asia. This experience included adventures from getting stranded on an island to being woken up at 3:00 am by an earthquake. These adventures ultimately made for interesting stories, but more importantly, they taught me the importance of being able to keep an open mind and heart wherever I go.

More details about your skills

I recently graduated with my Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and I am currently working as an independent contractor for the asset management team of a retail real estate company in Chicago while I await my full-time role as a Strategy Analyst at Accenture (starting in April 2024). I will finish my current role this December, and I thought that February would be the perfect time to travel and further explore Italian culture.

Some of my skills include: working well on a team and with others, leadership, public speaking, creativity, Italian, financial analysis, online marketing, web design, real estate, teaching.
