Mary Kate is a junior studying for a dual degree in Speech and Hearing Science and Linguistics. She studied abroad during the spring of her sophomore year at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. She was the first person in her family to travel outside of the U.S.! One of the highlights of her study abroad experience was going to Warsaw, Poland to play in the European Quidditch Cup with the Swedish team. The best advice she would give to anyone going abroad is to be confident enough in yourself to pursue the experiences that matter most to you!
