We adore Gaby! She's so full of warmth and fun. She's a great student and a kind friend, and she's the perfect person to close out this season of the podcast (well, at least the fall semester half of it anyway...)

Ana is so accomplished but assures us that we, too, can do hard things - it doesn't take magic or super powers but commitment and discipline. Get ready to be inspired!

Alexey is truly one of a kind, and we are so grateful he agreed to be a guest on the podcast. He's an incredibly organized and deep thinker, and he loves to solve problems. Please enjoy his AMAZING interview. (side note, "amazing" is Alexey's favorite English word)
Andrea from Mexico

We loved interviewing Andrea because she speaks so openly and candidly about how difficult moving to a new country and forging a new community can be. It takes time and effort and patience. She also makes us laugh a lot, and we're sure she'll do the same for you!
