I am a senior in the ORFE department with minors in Applications of Computing (COS) and Statistics & Machine Learning (SML). I grew up in Aldie, Virginia and I am Ghanaian. I studied abroad at DIS-Stockholm in Fall 2024. I took COS classes that fulfilled my ORFE Departmental Electives and an SML elective. For fun, I took a course called Swedish Language and Culture I, which helped me transition smoother. I learned a lot about myself living abroad and how to navigate different environments. I was also able to travel often during my stay. Some of my favorite places to visit were Thailand, Poland, Malta, and Germany. Even though I was in an unfamiliar environment, I was still able to keep the important things I wanted constant --like talking to my friends and family, going to the gym, and being involved in music.
