Future Plans

After completing the Haller Fellowship program, I cannot wait to travel abroad more at Pitt. I am hoping to do the Plus 3 program to Italy this year, and I would love to go to Australia as well. My experience in Dublin was absolutely amazing, and I would not have traded it for the world….

Last Day Reflection

Throughout this program, I have learned a lot about myself both professionally and personally. In a professional sense, I learned what kind of companies I would want to be a part of.
