毕业后辅修了意大利研究, 我很幸运地获得了那不勒斯的富布赖特研究奖学金, 意大利. I currently live in the historic center of Naples and study chemistry with a research group at Federico II, 这座城市的旗舰大学. The short- - - long-term benefits of this transformative life experience are too numerous to count. 我拓展了我的语言能力, 成长为一名科学家, 并与其他国际学生建立了相互钦佩的关系, 有时, 对那不勒斯这座城市及其独特的生活方式的怀疑.

I credit my p艺术icipation in this amazing opportunity mainly to Bowdoin’s 意大利研究 program: in addition to opening the doors that would make a Fulbright fellowship possible, my mentors in the dep艺术ment nurtured in me the desire for a linguistic and cultural awareness of a beautiful country to which I will forever be connected. 我原计划在那不勒斯呆一年, the original duration of my fellowship; but I have found my time there so enjoyable that I hope to continue my work and pursue a master’s degree in chemical sciences.

当我进入皇冠体育的时候，我并没有期望能以意大利语毕业, I found the dep艺术ment one of the most welcoming and intellectually intriguing at Bowdoin. In p艺术icular, my work with Professor Hall on Ariosto was a highlight of my time there.

毕业后, I am spending the 23-24 school year teaching English in Bergamo, 意大利. Studying Italian at Bowdoin has not only given me an incredible appreciation for the language, 艺术, 和我周围的文学, but has also allowed me the flexibility to communicate and work with teachers outside of the English dep艺术ment at my school to incorporate language skills and practice into other subjects. 当我不教书的时候, 我一直在追求我最热爱的烹饪, not only exploring the various cuisines of 意大利 but working in different kitchens as well!

我开始在皇冠体育学意大利语是为了好玩, but quickly realized all the opportunities that Italian could give me at Bowdoin and beyond. 作为一个意大利人, 计算机科学双学位, I completed an honors thesis that used natural language processing to predict the authorship of the ballads in The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio. 与教授. Crystal Hall, I learned how Italian literature could provoke interesting computational problems.

毕业后, I was awarded a Fulbright grant to conduct computational chemistry research at the University of Padua in 意大利. The amazing Italian professors I had at Bowdoin gave me a fluency in Italian that have allowed me to hit the ground running in Padua. I can communicate confidently with Italians in lab and volunteer at schools teaching children about water and air. 在我的空闲时间，我正在学习威尼托方言，并与其他学生一起跑步. 有时，我在当地的肉店和奶酪店试用我的威尼托奶酪. 在皇冠体育学意大利语改变了我的人生轨迹, 我感激不尽.

I never expected that an Italian studies degree would entirely change my course of studies, 但是我们在这里. 同时主修环境研究和地球 & 皇冠体育海洋科学, I found a strong community in Riley House and steadily completed a minor through seminars like Black Italia and Dante's Commedia. 2021年毕业后, 然后我去缅因州的索马里班图社区协会实习, and later I jumped over to 意大利 to begin a master's degree in Environmental Humanities at Ca' Foscari University of Venice.

I immediately fell in love with the Italian dep艺术ment from the first day I stepped into Riley House for the Open House before classes st艺术ed freshman year. Whether it was the 意大利式脆饼 and caffè offered or the welcoming introduction by Professor Saiber, 我知道我找到了第二个家. 我从小在家里和我撒丁岛的父亲说意大利语, but I wanted to enrich my knowledge of the language and the culture by taking Italian grammar and seminar courses.
