Email: valle01@gettysburg.edu

Hometown: Malvern, PA

Major/Minor: Sociology major & Business minor

Campus Activities: I am in Alpha Delta Pi and work as an intramural supervisor.

Favorite Experience: My favorite experience was seeing the Festival of Lights in Berlin which allowed me to experience the true culture of Berlin and allow me to meet a lot of German locals.

New/Exciting Course Abroad: I took German 101 which allowed me to speak light German. I was able to hold small conversations, but being able to order in German was one of the coolest experiences I have ever had. Also, the Sustainable Cities class that I took allowed me to learn a lot about Berlin's really interesting sustainable things that they do like the glass bottles on the sidewalks and the park food gardens.
