Summer 2024
In Summer 2024, I worked in the Seoul National University Urban Design Lab, led by Prof. Dr. Youngsan Kwon, through the NSF Smart City Engineering international research program.
Throughout the program, I was also expected to keep a weekly blog of my academic and cultural experiences. I took it as an opportunity to capture many of the memorable times I had with my lab mates in Korea over the summer. If you're interested in reading about it, you can find that blog here.
Over weekends and for academic symposiums, I took the opportunity to travel... a lot. The memories I made and places I saw are something I never want to forget, so I made this poster to hang in my room!

Developed my German language skills by taking an intensive intermediate language course.
Immersed myself in the culture of Leipzig, Germany, which has a unique culture connected to its past as a medieval trade center, East German city, and today a post-industrial city with a political leaning that differ greatly from the rest of the region.
Volunteered with some great NGOs, including a community garden. There is a large culture of private garden complexes in Germany, which the one we visited differs from. It was interesting to compare the mounded garden beds to the raised beds that I typically see at the gardens that I volunteer in at home.
...and so much more than words can describe!
