At the age of 16, I spent 10 months in Texas as part of a High School Exchange Year. This experience positively shapes and influences my life and career to this day. Already during my Master’s degree in North American Studies with a focus on politics and economics, I looked for a way to connect with international students to help them in making the same amazing experiences during their study abroad semester as I did. At AiB, I get the chance everyday to enable our students to shape their own academic and cultural experiences and while preparing them for a globally focused future.
