Peer Advisor
My name is Jaidyn and I’m majoring in Exercise Science and minoring in Spanish. I hope to attend medical school after graduating from UMD. I studied abroad in Bilbao, Spain at the University of Deusto during the spring 2023 semester. I made so many incredible friends, made connections with great professors, and had the time of my life traveling around Europe. I am very excited to help and encourage anyone and everyone interested in having their own study abroad experience.
