What makes you most curious (in life, in general)?
I get curious about the history of things and how they came to be/why they are the way they are now.
What is the best piece of advice/wisdom you’ve ever been given?
To apply for an abroad that the study aspect interests you, not just one where you want to go to that country to vacation.
What do you look forward to the most in Ecuador?
Everything. I’m excited for the Amazon and the Galapagos for sure. Seeing different ecosystems in action.
