Olivia Konfino
Finance | Milan, Italy | IES Milan Business Studies

Hi! My name is Olivia Konfino, and I am a Finance major on the Quantitative Track. On campus you can typically find me in Ryan Business Center during the week either in class or doing work. I studied abroad in Milan; Italy for the Fall semester of my junior year and it was one of the most incredible experiences I have ever had. I know it may seem nerve-wracking to move to a brand-new country, but it truly was unforgettable. Studying abroad in Milan gave me a fresh perspective on the world around me, allowing me to learn how people in all areas of the globe act, eat, dance, and live. I also worked as an intern for a financial tech company which opened the door to so many networking and corporate opportunities as well. Because of the balancing of work, school, and travel, I gained so many tips and tricks to time management, safety, planning and so much more. I cannot wait to help you with anything you might need and look forward to sharing my advice! Please reach out if you need anything!

Tally Theder
Psychology | Rome, Italy | CEA CAPA PC in Rome

Hi! My name is Tally Theder, and I’m a senior Psychology major with a Marketing minor. If you were to look for me during the week on campus, you would find me in Slavin or the Business School. In addition to the SAM role, I am the president of Colleges Against Cancer, part of the Orientation staff, and work at the gym and in PC Athletics. I studied abroad with the PC in Rome Program this past Spring Semester and absolutely loved it. My time in Rome was filled with amazing experiences and countless memories. Rome has so much to offer, filled with tons of history, and stunning architecture everywhere you walk! My favorite part was walking home from school and stopping in all the free churches. I picked up many travel tips from my semester abroad and created a study abroad document specifically for PC in Rome. If anyone wants access to it, they can follow my travel Instagram @Tallytravels10! Coming from Los Angeles, I am happy to talk to you all about homesickness, going abroad without knowing anyone super well, living with an Italian roommate, and the application process. This experience was truly the best decision I could have made for myself, and I would love to help in any way I can. I am always available to chat about anything!

Catherine Santa
Political Science | Dublin, Ireland | IFSA University College Dublin

Hi! I’m Catherine Santa, a senior majoring in Political Science with a minor in Business Innovation. If you’re on campus during the week, you’ll probably find me in the library hard at work or out for a run around campus. Outside of SAM, I’m active in student congress and enjoy participating in intramural sports. One of the most transformative experiences of my life was studying abroad at University College Dublin during the spring of my junior year. Having never traveled outside the country before, I was initially nervous, but Dublin quickly became one of my favorite places. The city offered endless opportunities for exploration, from vibrant live music scenes to breathtaking landscapes just a short bus ride away. My program, ISFA, introduced me to people from around the globe and provided invaluable guidance throughout my journey. This experience taught me so much about independence, travel, and cultural differences, and I’m excited to share more about how studying abroad has shaped me!

I did a psychology internship where I worked in a school environment, allowed me to have such a unique abroad experience. It was truly the most incredible time of my life, and I can’t wait to help you along your journey in however way I can!
