Good morning, Good afternoon, Good evening, or goodnight!
My name is Maggie Sparks, I am currently a rising Junior at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (GO VOLS!!!). I plan to major in Recreation and Sport Management with a minor in Business Administration. During my Spring 2022 semester at UTK I plan to Study Abroad in Sydney, Australia completing a full semester of classes while also gaining an international internship. However, the fun doesn't stop there, while abroad I hope to fully emerge into Australia's culture, history, traditions, education, locals, and food. 
I was fortunate enough to travel an awful lot as a child. I have seen the other side of the States, lived among the mountains, felt the feeling of sand in between my toes, and paid for food in the form of a currency outside of the American dollar. However, I have never had the opportunity to explore 'The Land Down Under'.  Studying abroad has been a dream for as long as I can remember, and the time has finally come! All this to say, I can not get there all by myself. I want to go ahead and extend my gratitude by saying thank you beyond words for hearing me out and aiding in any way possible on the experience of a lifetime!
