Alana Firsty is a junior at Chapman University, majoring in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing, along with minors in Nutrition and Honours. She spent the Fall 2025 semester studying abroad in Sydney through Arcadia, where she took classes at Macquarie University and interned at Swan Studio, a creative advertising agency.

Studying abroad completely changed her life in the best way. She spent five months exploring Australia (and even New Zealand!), meeting people from all over the world, and pushing herself way outside her comfort zone. Some of her favourite memories include running the City2Surf race, going on spontaneous side quests with friends, and realising just how much she loves Australia. She's already planning to move back after she graduates. :)
