My name is Jaclyn Alvarado and I am studying business administration and history at the Univeristy of Redlands. I am from San Francisco, California but I am currently studying abroad in Granada, Spain for the 2019 Spring Semester!
I chose to study business administration because I am interested in the multiple aspects of an organization, including management, finance, and marketing. History is another subject I enjoy. I am always questioning the events that occur around the world and how events and people affect the way I live. I am fascinated by the intersection of business and history, especially with respect to the history of economies and how past events affected business in society.
At the Univeristy of Redlands I am a member of both Kappa Pi Zeta, a sorority on campus, and Delta Sigma Pi, the co-ed professional business fraternity. I also enjoy hiking, running, and spending time with my family. I also love going to music festivals, and hope to find some good concerts in Spain!
I chose to study in Spain because I want to improve my Spanish speaking skills as well as experience the rich culture this country has to offer. I specifically chose Granada because it was the perfect size city for me, where I have the opportunity to engage in activities but not feel too overwhelmed. I absolutely love Granada so far, and can’t wait to see what the rest of the semester has in store!
