About Me

Hi! My name is Abigail, and I’m a slightly nerdy Europhile with a love of learning and tea. I’m spending the second semester of my junior year studying abroad in Paris. Although my major is civil engineering, I will be taking mostly humanities classes. I’m especially excited about the language, the architecture, the culture, and travelling.
