My name is Hayley and I am a junior majoring in Marketing. I am from Greenwich, CT and love tennis, my three Labradors, and traveling. I try to take advantage of every travel opportunity that comes my way. I did community service in Costa Rica and studied abroad in Sydney, Australia during my sophomore year in high school, as well as going on many overseas family vacations. I went on the India Education and Development Winter Term trip in January, 2012 and studied abroad in Florence, Italy in Fall, 2012, where I made my way to ten other cities over the three and a half months. I love learning about different cultures and am looking forward to traveling much more in the future.
