Now it’s time for another Meet Us Monday☀️Meet Bonnie Hooes! Bonnie is the advisor for programs in Africa, the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East! She studied abroad in Florence, Italy in 1998, and this is a photo of Bonnie with her family in Quito, Ecuador (2019) at an elevation of 13,000 feet!🌄
-
“I’m a first generation American who had never traveled without my parents before studying abroad. It was the first time walking through LAX on my own, first time boarding an airplane on my own, and first time maneuvering around a foreign land, in a foreign language, on my own. But, then, something magical happened the week before leaving Italy. An American family approached me, trying to use their broken Italian, to ask me for directions. They thought I was Italian! My confidence and level of independence skyrocketed during those months in Italy!”
-
One of Bonnie’s favorite memories from studying abroad was that she was there during the 1998 soccer World Cup where Italy made it to the quarterfinals. She said she will never forget the passion for soccer that she felt in every café, every shop, every home, and even in classes!⚽️🏆

Now it’s time for another Meet Us Monday✨Meet Ambyr Evans, one of your Study Abroad Center Peer Advisors this year! She is an International Studies major and Business Management minor who studied abroad at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea for a year!
-
Her favorite memories of Korea were seeing cherry blossoms in person, going to cafes and scenic spots, rail-biking through nature, and when her friends from her internship surprised her for her 21st birthday with a cake! “I’m a first generation college student so I feel so blessed and grateful to have been able to go to college, and to go abroad on top of that! I remember back in high school my Spanish teacher had always emphasized how important study abroad was. She told us to go for a year if we ever had the chance, and I took what she said to heart. The study abroad center was great because even though this was all so new to me, I felt like I had a lot of support going through the process.”
-
Ambyr was also part of UCI’s INSA Dance Team before studying abroad.

This week we would like you to meet Jenny Hong! Jenny is the Operations manager at the Study Abroad Center! Although she did not study abroad during undergraduate, she traveled to various countries with missions organizations and relief programs throughout college!
A memory she has of traveling was 2 years ago, she experienced a 6.7 earthquake while hiking through the Fushimi Inari Gates in Japan😱
-
Jenny says, “I love working behind the scenes to make the study abroad process smooth and seamless! I started working right after graduating and had many different experiences. After working for a fast-paced start up firm for 6 years, I had time to reflect on what matters and what I am truly passionate about. Reflecting made we realize I am meant to be in an international field impacting cross-border collaboration whatever that looked like. I’m grateful for my position at the SAC behind the scenes to help achieve these collaborations in a small way!”✨

-
“I'll never forget my first day of volunteering as an English Teaching Assistant at a local Italian middle school, when all of my new students were eagerly getting to know me. When they asked me if I liked pineapple on pizza and I answered yes, the classroom went wild! I quickly learned how much true Italians disapprove of the "American" way of eating pizza.”
-
Irene is also a mentor for the School of Social Sciences First Generation First Quarter Challenge, a teaching Intern for Global Connect @ UCI, a SAGE Scholar, and a member of Phi Alpha Delta Pre-Law Fraternity!

Next, I want to welcome you all back for another Meet Us Monday! Meet Maria Rivera! Maria is the Enrollment and Operations Coordinator for the Study Abroad Center, and she went abroad to both England and Japan!
-
📝Fun fact: here is how Maria was able to study abroad as a first generation, low income college student! “Being a first gen, low income student, my parents were actually very skeptical of the benefits of study abroad and if we could afford it as I was a financial aid student. However, to my surprise, financial aid covered most of my expenses abroad! I even received scholarships that helped with personal expenses like food and transportation. As a first time traveler, I was also very nervous about being on an airplane alone. But during orientations, I met lots of people and a couple of us ended up buying tickets together. The plane ride was a great time to get to know each other and we’re still friends even now!
-
One of Maria’s greatest memories from abroad was getting to shake the hands of the Prince and Duchess of England! (WOW!) She said she didn’t expect to actually be able to see them when it was announced they were coming, but this experience taught her to try everything even if you have low expectations for the result. You never know who you might end up meeting!
