Hi Everyone! My name is Kiana, and I am a junior at Wellesley College, a historically women's college, not too far from Boston. For the next few months, I will be living in Sydney, Australia, as an exchange student at the University of Sydney. Before moving to Massachusetts, I lived in Houston, TX, for my entire life. At Wellesley, I am studying Education Studies with an interest in how schools work in the lives of students and how we can make them better. After graduating, I plan to go to law school to become a lawyer and work in government and public policy.
When at Wellesley and at home, I love trying new foods and cafes. I love crocheting and cross-stitching as a pastime. I also enjoy reading a wide range of books, from non-fiction to fantasy. I have never traveled outside of the United States before, and I am so excited to experience as much as Australia has to offer. I am looking forward to sharing my time traveling with all of you.
