Education in Nicaragua

Hi there!

My name is Anna and I am from Monterey, California. I lived here with my family for my whole life up until I moved away for college. I did my undergraduate work at Lake Forest College in Lake Forest, Illinois where I studied Anthropology, Spanish and Art History. My study abroad semester in Granada, Spain was one of many powerful experiences that lead me to the Monterey Institute of International Studies, where I am now.

Ultimately, I would like to work in the study and volunteer abroad field. I believe in immersive learning (the heart of study abroad) and the fact that we are able to influence the lives of others simply by being kind and sharing our gifts with the world. This is why I am here at the Institute studying International Education Management and Public Administration, working to combine the study aspects of international education and the social change aspects of international volunteerism.

I am thoroughly grateful for the many gifts I have been given, particularly that of education, and I look forward to this graduate experience that is just beginning to unfold.
