Additional Courses

German 101...Elementary German

Throughout my college career, I have nurtured a love for language. What first started out as a interest in French, turned into hunger for achieving conversational fluency in other languages. Although I was unable to pursue German further due to schedule constraints, I picked up enough to know that I have a serious appetite for foreign language. It was extremely beneficial to my love for languages and my journey as a language learner. I look forward to being able to practice my German in the future and then moving onto others such as Italian, Spanish and Japanese.

•Creative Inquiry

For five semesters, I partipated in an advocacy and awareness research project. We communicated with other internationally focused Clemson projects to make them aware of the role of women's voices in their proposed country. Later, the research group collaborated with the Jane Adney Memorial School in Kenya to understand women's perspective of self, career and opportunities in a developing country.
