Hi! My name is Finn Carter and I am studying Computer Science here at NAU. I did an exchange student program in high school and want to study abroad here at NAU.

Violette Valencia

Education Abroad Student Employee
Hello! My name is Violette Valencia and I am majoring in Sociology with minors in Ethnic Studies and International Studies here at NAU. For Spring 2025, I studied abroad at Chonnam National University in Gwangju, South Korea for four incredible months! I have also done three faculty-led programs including Spain for a week, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and France over the summer, and one in China this past winter. One of my favorite parts of going abroad is creating unforgettable memories I fondly look back on and would love to share that joy with others! I aim to be a source of support to fellow students so feel free to reach out if anything!

Logan Davidson

Education Abroad Intern
Hi! My name is Logan Davidson and I am double majoring in Psychology and Women’s and Gender Studies here at NAU. I was fortunate enough to be a part of the study abroad program at the American College of Greece in Spring 2026. A few of my favorite places I went outside of Greece were Spain, Egypt, and Italy! I’ve loved travelling so far and would love to offer insight to any questions you may have!
