Hello, I'm Claire! I was a recreational therapy major here at Temple, and I completed my first required internship in Belgrade, Serbia. This was my first time traveling outside of the U.S. and I could not have been more excited to go to such a beautiful country that not many people I knew had ever visited, or even heard of. As a recreational therapy major, I also wanted to spread awareness about the importance of the field, since many people haven't heard of this either. I couldn't wait for this amazing experience and to start off my senior year in a new country!

"I'm so grateful to be completing an internship abroad, and can't wait for all the amazing things I will learn along the way. I hope I can shine a light on the field of Recreational Therapy and can bring my experiences back into the field when I return."
