Hi! My name is Amanda and I am a biochemistry and biophysics major from New York City. I am spending my spring semester at the University of Sydney, where I will take classes in biology and physics. I will be living at the women’s residential college of the university. I have never been to Australia before and I am looking forward to the sun and the wildlife.
