Coming into this program I had a lot of expectations. I wasn’t sure if they were going to be fulfilled. For the most part, they were. In this blog, I want to go over my academic, professional, and personal expectations. When I got here I wasn’t sure how the teaching style was going to be….

Not Ready to Say Goodbye Just Yet
I have one week left in Sydney meaning two more classes, 2 more days at my internship and still so much I want to do! It is finally hitting me that this amazing opportunity is quickly coming to an end and it is so bittersweet. I have experienced so much over this past month and…
Expectations Before Coming to Sydney, Australia
As my program is coming to a close, I have gotten to really love Sydney, Australia and enjoy my time here. I have had so many great experiences and met many new friends. I wish I could stay here longer. Prior to coming to Sydney, I had a few expectations about my study abroad program…
Don’t Want to BreakFree from Sydney

SFW in NSW
Sad to say I only have two more weeks of the program here in Sydney, as it seems to have gone by so fast. A big part of this trip seeming to go by fast is the seamless transition I’ve made into my internship. I intern at Sport NSW, a non-profit which advocates for sports…
