My name is Caitlin and I am starting my 3rd year student of the Sport and Human Performance bachelors in the B semester of 2024.  I have chosen to go on an exchange for my entire 3rd year as I am an avid sports person and thought that going on an exchange could push me further in my sport as well as propel my studies and the opportunities my degree brings.

I am headed away to Scotland in September to the University of Stirling.  I chose Scotland as it is an awesome gateway to the UK and Europe, and more specifically chose Stirling for its insane sporting reputation and facilities, and its location in relation to some Mountain Biking hotspots.  From my experience abroad, I hope to gain connections both within the sporting industry and general lifelong friends.  Having never travelled internationally before, I hope to open myself up to broader cultural experiences and further travel as well.
