Global Awareness:
An international experience symbolizes an opportunity to see, to taste, and most importantly to live in a world previously unknown. In hopes of engrossing my senses during an exploration of my personal global awareness, I desire to see the ancient civilizations’ ruins, taste the famous indigenous dishes, and experience the culture of the Mexican populace during the International Affairs Scholars Program’s May Study Abroad to Mexico’s historical Yucatan peninsula.
Original Inquiry:
Currently, I am analytically exploring the implications of globalization on Mexican society linked to the historic processes of colonization, the formation and expansion of capitalism, the conformation of a global market, modernization, and the implementation of neoliberalism in most of Latin America in my pre-departure research of the the socioeconomic effects of the tourism slowdown in the Yucatan.
Academic Enrichment:
I pride myself on my academic achievements. My Finance major and minors in History and Latino Studies allow me to engross myself into my studies. I am currently on the Dean’s List and Honor Roll at The Ohio State University.
Leadership Development:
I have developed my leadership skills throughout my college experience. I have held diverse positions in the fields of Financials, Human Resources, and Mentorship as well as serving as a Spokesperson, Representative, and Committee Member.
