Hello Everyone! My name is Samantha and I’m a senior at Southern Illinois University! I study fashion merchandising and minor in marketing. On campus, I am a proud member of the American Marketing Association and the Public Relations Student Society of America. This past spring, I had the incredible opportunity of studying fashion in the original fashion capital of Italy, Florence. This experience turned out to be so much more than I could have ever imagined! I made friends from both America and Italy that I know will last a lifetime, I learned how to travel alone, a skill that is so valuable, and most importantly, I tried the best tasting food I’ve ever had in my life! ;) In all seriousness, I was given the chance to open myself up to new experiences, people, and cultures. This lead me to realize what I want to do with my career and a new passion for travel. I hope everyone reading this gets the chance to have their own life-changing experience studying abroad. Ciao for now!
