My home town is Baltimore, Maryland. I am 20 years old and a Junior. My major is International studies with a minor in french. My goal is to go to law school after undergrad and then from there to either practice international or criminal law. When I came to college, I always knew I wanted to be a lawyer, however, I was unsure of the type of law or major that was best suited for me.

I expect that the ELI intercultural experience will definitely be different from most of my classes, at first it will probably be a little challenging but I expect that it will get easier to interact and have fun in the second or third class. I hope to gain a better knowledge about other cultures and to acquire some better communication skills.

Once I warm up and feel confident in the environment, I am very friendly and talkative. My internal challenges may be a little hard to over come,
