Hello! My name is Cassie Babcock. I
am a senior and my major is Allied Health and I have a minor in Psychology as
well. I plan on going to grad school next fall to get my master’s
degree in Occupational Therapy.
I only started considering studying
abroad about a year ago. I am very excited about being accepted to go to Cape
Town this spring! I have always wanted to experience living in
another culture and learning the many things there are to learn. As
great of a campus UCONN has, I just wasn’t going to gain that experience on
campus. I looked into going to London which also sounded like fun
but I wanted more than just fun. I’m going into the health care
field because I enjoy helping and teaching people so they can live the best
quality of life. That’s why I thought South Africa would be an
amazing experience and opportunity for me. When I read about
the internship the Cape Town program offered I knew this was exactly what I
wanted.
I was born and raised in New
England between a small town in Connecticut and Block Island, an even smaller
town. I have always had a lot of family close by which I have loved
growing up. But for a very long time now I have wanted to travel on my own to
see what else the world has to offer. I’m hoping that South Africa
is just my first in many places I get to travel to!
