Dia Duit! Im Gabriela Barrett and I am so looking forward to our trip to Ireland and getting to know everyone throughout our travels. This will be more first time in Europe, first time outside of the US, (aside from Caribbean cruises which don’t count in my mind ) and therefore, my first time in Europe.

I am a rising junior however, as I am a transfer and have only completed one year at Temple, I am still getting to know the university and the people, making this program even richer of an experience for me.

I have always been driven towards the environmental side of CSR and care greatly about protecting and preserving the only planet we’ve been granted responsibility for, taking care of it just as it takes care of us. I have taken two classes on sustainability and environmental science during my time in college, and they have only strengthened my care for and awareness of the human-environmental impact. I look forward to seeing how we dive into this specific CSR facet

Advertising and account management are passions of mine that double as my major here at Klein. I am currently the secretary of the Temple Ad Club and look froward to digging more into that role in the Fall. In addition to all things advertising, I am big on adventure and exploration. Whether it be through food, nature, wild life, or thrilling activities, I am a sponge who loves to try new things, travel, and gaining cultural experience.

As a creative individual, I have a number of hobbies and skills that allow me to express myself from baking and cooking to fashion, art , or interior design. There are no limits really. On the opposite side of the coin, I am also a health and gym freak who prioritizes physical fitness and a balanced diet like her life depends on it, (and in a way, it does!) so if pre-breakfast jogs interest anyone during our time away, lets be run buddies!

I am most excited to try new foods, explore any natural sites we can, visit the Airfield Estate, and be immersed in the Irish culture overall. I look forward to seeing you all very soon.

Slán for now!
