Hello! My name is Kate Lubbers and I am from Port Huron, Michigan. I am a first year student here at OSU majoring in Architecture and minoring in Spanish- making this an ideal spring break trip to go on. I am involved in the organization Destination Imagination, Serivecture, and I’m in the Architecture Scholars Program. I am a runner, and while I may use that word generously now, I plan on running a half marathon by the end of the year! I am also a snowboarder, and a french horn player (even though I don’t play it currently). My favorite flower is a Blue Columbine, my favorite tree is a palm tree. I am a Chai Tea enthusiast and I will never say no to a red velvet cupcake. My favorite season is Autumn and my favorite musical is “The Drowsy Chaperone” with “Wicked” coming in a close second. My family and I have traveled around the United States a lot, mainly to National Parks, so I am no stranger to planes or long trips, but the only foreign country I’ve been to is Canada. I am so excited to be fully immersed in the Chilean culture. I am sure this will be an incredible experience for the art, architecture, landscape, and people!
