I completed a summer semester abroad living with a host family in Bonn, Germany, while attending the Akademie für Internationale Bildung.
I also received an associate degree in German from Austin Community College in May 2013.
I was able to communicate with moderate effectiveness in Italian during my five years stationed at Naval Air Station Sigonella, Sicily, Italy. I rented a villa and lived in the local economy for four out of the five years I was stationed in Sicily.
