JoElla Kleinhesselink

Hi! My name is JoElla and I am in my final year of studying political science and economics at the University of South Dakota, though I am originally from Washington State. When not in the classroom I enjoy being active by doing yoga, hiking, and participating in intramural sports. I am even my university's two-time racquetball champion! This is just one of the reasons why I am so excited to be able to study abroad in Cape Town, South Africa. I cannot wait to hike Table Mountain, go ziplining, rappelling, bungee jumping and so much more! Not to mention all the amazing wildlife in the area, such as lions, elephants, and even penguins!!
