About
Hello! I'm Madison and am a sophomore at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill majoring in Biology. This summer, I am abroad in Limerick, where I am researching quorum sensing.
One of my favorite travel experiences has been white water rafting in Alaska. I am also SCUBA certified and once dove with sharks in the Bahamas. One of the most rewarding trips I have taken was going to Costa Rica, where I volunteered to set up medical clinics in underserved communities. This trip inspired me to study abroad this summer, as I had such an amazing time getting to know the locals and experiencing a new country.
While I am grateful for the travel experiences I've had, I have never been to Europe. I hope to immerse myself in Irish culture, try different foods, make meaningful relationships with my peers and locals, and explore Ireland's beautiful landscapes!
