Hi! I'm Ella Malaika, a junior from Northern NJ who attends the University of Richmond. I chose to study with IES to explore an area of the world I've never been to before, and learn about public health hands-on. I love hiking and the beach!

As an aspiring archaeologist, a bookworm, and a lover of thrifting, I couldn't be more excited to be going to Rome. Come with me to explore the city's vast history and find the best second-hand shops and cozy corners to curl up and read a good book.

Hey there! My name is Andrew Masciarelli, and I am a rising junior from Occidental College studying economics and politics. Outside of my studies, I love to cook, and I am also spending as much time as I can teaching myself how to play the guitar!
