Hi everyone! My name is Ryley Zapien, and I'm an incoming Sophomore from the rainy Pacific Northwest, Washington state. I am in the Georgetown college on a pre-medical track, planning on majoring in Biology of Global Health with a minor in Studio Art. This summer, I am studying abroad in Fiesole, Italy at the Georgetown Villa Le Balze, taking a three-week course called The Brain and the Experience of Beauty in Art that combines biology and art with the new emerging field of neuroesthetics. I love the outdoors, adventuring to new places and trying new things (I'm a big foodie!), and doing anything adrenaline-filled like skydiving, shark-cage diving, or white water river rafting. I am extremely excited to share my unique experience studying abroad with all of you!
