My Travel Story

I have the chance to study and intern in Barcelona this summer, and I need your help to make it happen.

Hi everyone! I'm so excitd to share that I've been accepted to a study abroad internship program in Barcelona through Barcelona SAE! As a third- year architecture student at UC Berkeley, this is such an incredible opportunity for me to grow, not just as a student, but as a future designer.

I'm really passionate about sustainable and environmental design, and Barcelona is known fo rits thoughtful urban spaces, walkability, and integration of nature into the city. Through both my coursework and internship experince, I'll be able to learn from real- worl projects and see how these ideas are actually applied in practice. That kind of hands- on learning would be so impactful for my education and future career. 

I want to bring thesse ideas back with me and use them to design more equitable, sustainable spaces, especially for communities that don't always get that level of care and attention. 
As a first- generation Latina college student, opportunites like this don't always come easy, and studying abroad is a big financial commitment. That's why I'm asking for a little support to help make this possible. 

Any contribution, big or small, truly means so much to me. 
And even just sharing this helps more than you know. 

Thank you for being part of my journey and helping me take this step toward becoming the kind of architect I hope to be.
