Natalie is a rising senior with a double major in Biomedical Sciences and Spanish from Susquehanna University. As a first-generation Latina raised in the United States, she would love nothing more than to carry my family traditions and culture, including a key component: the language. Natalie says “Getting the chance to live several months within a Spanish society will solidify my journey in becoming a fluent Spanish speaker. I look forward to taking advantage of this opportunity and fully immersing into the experience, making lifetime memories along the way!”[image_with_animation image_url=”6814″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”]John Aligata
