I will participate in an exchange program with the Arctic University in Longyearbyen, the northernmost settlement in Svalbard, for six months. During this time, I will take courses on Arctic studies, including glacier research through remote sensing, modeling of glacier melting and temperature, aurora borealis studies, Arctic survival techniques, and GPS usage.
I spent two months in Japan during the summer of 2024, taking Japanese language courses in Yokohama and completing a hotel internship in Hakone during the following month.
I participated in an Erasmus+ exchange during high school, which gave me the opportunity to deepen my understanding of the European Union through courses and collaborative projects with Italy and Germany, which I visited with this exchange as well the European Parliament.
