May May Drimer

    Before coming to William &  Mary, I had not considered majoring in Hispanic Studies.  However, I knew that I wanted to enroll in a few Spanish courses just for fun.  Over time, my love for the language combined with my deep admiration for Professors Terukina, Carrion, and Rio, confirmed the decision that I needed to stay in the department and establish roots.  My favorite class by far was Spanish Medical Interpretation with Prof Carrion.  The course allowed me to combine my two majors/passions:  Hispanic Studies and Public Health.  I hope to continue to use Spanish in a medical area abroad in the future.  Speaking of abroad, a major highlight of my time in college was when I studied abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina.  I even traveled to Mendoza and Iguazu Falls with other W&M students!  I am so appreciative of the support and encouragement I received from all in the HISP department, and I am excited to take my next steps!
