Study Abroad: Plus3 Italy—This was a two week, three-credit study abroad program. It is held after the Spring semester of freshman year and is the perfect program to test out if studying abroad is right for you. In these two weeks, I traveled around Northern Italy learning about the supply chain of the fashion industry.
Favorite TV shows: Scandal, Grey’s Anatomy, and Friends
Favorite place on campus: Personally, I love the Quad. It is such a nice space to sit outdoors and study, eat, or just relax. It almost seems that you aren’t in a city when you are there which is refreshing. I love to go and study outdoors on the lawn when the weather gets nice.
Favorite Vacation Spot: London, England. I fell in love with London’s culture and architecture. I loved discovering the history and tradition of the country. Tea in the afternoon is definitely something I wish Americans would pick up on.
Favorite Thing about Pitt: I love the urban campus and surroundings the most. Pitt really is the best of both worlds, because although you are located in the city, you are also surrounded by Schenley Park. I love the Farmer’s Market that comes in the fall and spring every Thursday. This is the best way to discover local foods around and change up your eating habits.
Something on your bucket list: Something that I plan on doing is going to Africa. Going on a safari has always been a dream of mine.
Hobbies: Yoga, discovering new coffee shops, and watching reality TV
Upon arrival at the University of Pittsburgh, I was amazed by the city and its endless opportunities. I knew that I could spend four years at Pitt and still discover new places and things every day. Pitt Business does a great job of stressing the importance of networking and establishing personal connections. This is something that I found unique about the business school, and I could not be more thankful that I am part of such a great program.

Pitt has the perfect combination of business and city feel, making it an easy choice for me. I always say it’s like having a mini city all to yourself. Most of the area is populated by college students, and is a separate community from the suburbs or downtown Pittsburgh. Pitt Business provides the best resources to grow your skills. It has worked wonders for me, helping me to improve both professionally and socially. Pitt Is It. I could not be happier with my experience so far and look forward to the great times to come.
