My name is Kate Schelle and I am a junior at Penn State University. I am majoring in Public Relations, minoring in Global and International Studies, and getting a concentration in Meeting and Event Management. I love to travel to new places and meet new people. I enjoy documenting my experiences wherever I may be and sharing them with the rest of the world. I love using social media to post about my life and to see what other people's experiences are like as well. I hope to have a job in social media after graduating from Penn State in Spring 2024.

Hi, I'm Kim! I truly feel that traveling is important in order to gain new experiences that can be used to ensure a successful professional life and personal life. Amsterdam is somewhere that I have never traveled before, so I was really excited when I saw that it was an option for me! Being able to travel around Europe while I am there seems super fun to me and this experience will definitely be one that I cherish forever! In my future, I hope to eventually work as a criminal psychologist. A fun fact about me is that I have been dancing since I was 2 years old and I am currently a part of a club dance team at Penn State University!
