Hello! My name is Isabel (she/her), I'm an Electrical Engineering major, minoring in Sustainability Studies. In Summer A 2025, I studied abroad in Parma, Italy through the UF In Italy - Automotive Engineering and Urban Planning program. The experience focused on exploring key urban planning concepts, culminating in group projects aimed at reducing congestion in the city, while also visiting world-class car manufacturers in the Motor Valley such as Ferrari and Dallara. Along the way, we were immersed in Italian culture through cooking classes and excursions, and I built close friendships with other UF engineering students. I’m excited to continue sharing those experiences in Gainesville.
