International History
International history and geography have always been personal interests of mine and have significantly shaped my academic and professional goals. I have spent years independently studying global history, international affairs, political systems, and world geography, which has strengthened my understanding of cross cultural dynamics and global perspectives. This interest directly influenced my decision to pursue a degree in Spanish with a minor in International Studies at The University of Alabama. Through both university classes and personal study, I have developed a strong knowledge of world regions, international relations, and global historical events. I also have extensive familiarity with world geography, including knowledge of all 195 countries and their locations, cultures, and geopolitical significance. My passion for international topics has continued through study abroad experiences in Spain and Germany, where I further developed cultural awareness, adaptability, and communication skills in international environments. This longstanding interest in global affairs has motivated my career interests in diplomacy, international relations, international education, and cross cultural communication.
