Hello, everybody!

This is my first year at Purchase, where I’m currently studying Jazz piano. I am also happy to call myself a part of the Student Advisory Board for International Student Exchange Programs. Originally, I am from Germany and moved to NY in 2017 as an Au-Pair. Before Purchase, I also did a year of college in Munich, Germany. I hope that my experiences with adapting to a new culture and studying in a vastly new environment will help this board add another point of view – that of a student currently completing their studies abroad. I want us to explore our diverse identities and help distributing the wealth of culture this world has to offer, as well as offering constructive, tangible guidance on how to improve our study-abroad programs.
