Campus Activities: I play piano in the Wind Symphony and Jazz Ensemble, I'm vice president of the Gettysburg Environmental Concerns Organization, I play on the women's rugby team, and I'm in climbing club.
Favorite Experience: It's difficult to pick just one experience, but I really enjoyed going to concerts with my friends in Vienna. The concert halls in Vienna offered discounted standing-room and student tickets, so we could easily attend world-class performances.
New/Exciting Course Abroad: The Performance Workshop class helped me learn about my abilities as a musician. I was given a large amount of music to learn in a short time, and I didn't think that I could learn it all in time. However, I surprised myself and did it. The class gave me the opportunity to push myself and become more confident in my skills.
