In fall of 2022, I started my freshman year of college at the University of Missouri. I am pursing a degree in Health Sciences, specifically the pre-professional program, and I am minoring in both Italian and Women and Gender’s Studies. My future plans consist of going to Physician Assistant school and studying abroad in Rome next summer to finish up my Italian minor!

At Mizzou I have had the opportunity to get involved in so many things such as the Biology fraternity, volunteering to train service dogs, becoming external chair for philanthropy for my sorority, and becoming a peer educator for the sexual violence awareness program on campus. I am extremely grateful for all of these wonderful experiences. I would like to thank SADIA for the unconditional support and assistance I have received in helping me follow my dreams and goals.

SADIA has had a such a huge impact on growing passion for Italian language and culture, which only continues to grow here at Mizzou!
