- Title
- Everything Happens for a Reason - Paris, France
- Date
- 2019
- Description
- This photo was taken when we were on a boat tour along the river through Paris to sight see with my program. As we were passing under bridges and the brick walls along the river, I spotted this spray painted on a wall. "Everything happens for a reason" has always been a motto that I lived by and that was instilled in me from my dad. It's a phrase that reminds me there is something to learn from every situation and to be present in what is happening, right now. When we were on the boat tour and happened to pass this spray painted on a random wall, I was hit with a wave of emotion. Seeing this quote was a reminder to me that my experience abroad is pushing my comfort zone and pushing me further than I thought I could go for a reason. There is truly something new to learn everyday and growth comes from hard times. It was a reminder that I have this opportunity for a reason and to make the most of it.

- Title
- Las Setas - Seville, Spain
- Date
- 2014
- Description
- I captured this panoramic photo of the fantastic wooden sculpture Espacio Metropol Parasol during my final weeks abroad. The structures are known more affectionately by the locals as Las Setas which translates to 'the mushrooms.' I visited Seville twice and was awe-struck both times by these structures. My favorite part of this location is that when the mushrooms were being built, starting in 2005, the construction revealed ancient roman ruins from the first century underground. The 6 mushrooms now span 490x230 feet, but also below there is a museum where you can learn some of Seville's incredible history and see the ruins for yourself. Modern juxtaposed with the ancient.

- Title
- Ferhat Pasha Mosque - Republika Srpska, Bosnia & Herzegovina
- Date
- 2019
- Description
- This photo shows the painted dome of the mosque. This mosque was destroyed in the 1990s during the ethnic cleansing of Bosniak Muslims by Serbs in the wars of the 1990s. It was my cohorts first stop on our week-long excursion dedicated to learning about and honoring the more than 8,000 muslim victims killed in the Genocide. The mosque was rebuilt in 2001 and now signifies the resilience of Bosniak Muslims and their refusal to be erased.
