My Travel Story

by: Olivia Mulhern Start Date: Sep 29, 2017 - End Date: Apr 21, 2018
Hi! My name is Olivia Mulhern. I am a sophomore at Mount Saint Mary College. I am a Psychology major with a human services minor. I will be continuing with my Master’s in Social Work. Why Psychology? Why Social Work? I have always had the love for helping people. Healthcare has been the field I have always wanted to work in since high school. I have always put others first and I believe the care and love of another person is most important.

This is the first year that Mount Saint Mary College is offering a study abroad program to Sydney, Australia. I would be experiencing three cities in a four-week span while living in Australia. The other two cities include Canberra, and Brisbane. The cost of the trip includes two courses and I would be receiving 6 MSMC credits towards graduation. The courses that will be taught are The Business, Economy, and Philosophy of Healthcare in Australia, and Gender Equity in Sports: Australia vs. USA. The Healthcare course would benefit with my major because I will be able to see and learn how healthcare is in Australia and how they deal with certain issues compared to the USA. The cost of the trip also pays for my airfare, living, and expenses.

The reason behind creating a “Fund My Travel,” is because it is nearly impossible for me to pay for this trip alone. Financially, it is a struggle to get a loan as well. Every amount is helpful no matter how much. Besides this campaign, I will be working and trying to fundraise in other way. Studying abroad has always been my dream. I want to travel the world and learn about different healthcare systems, and explore the land of other countries. It is a love I have always had and I want to pursue my dream. It is a once in a life time opportunity, for a reasonable price, to travel to Australia. The trip is from May 26-June 22, 2018. I am looking forward to this amazing opportunity. Any help that I receive, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me live my dream and advance in my career.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me!
I hope you have a great day! <3
