Vishwa Parmar – English Literature/Creative Writing (Class of 2026)
Hometown: Vadodara, India
My goal in life is to become a filmmaker and writer, and to hone the artist in me.
I came to JCU because I wanted to become a creative individual with a sense of fulfillment.
My goal was to be embraced by the knowledge I gained from the people, the city and
the culture, to step out of the classroom and travel. I wanted to learn about literature,
art, history and religion, meet new people and learn from them, and gain knowledge
along the way.
Ana Lucia Ajuria Escobar – Psychological Science/Business Administration (Class of 2026)
Hometown: Tegucigalpa, Honduras
I've always dreamed of studying abroad for my college experience. My sister attended
JCU and she played a big role in motivating me to choose this University, and I’m
incredibly grateful to have found it. It has broadened my worldview and allowed me
to learn about a wide range of cultures and experiences. What truly sets JCU apart
is its diverse international environment and strong emphasis on academic excellence.
Studying here has been a transformative journey, allowing me to pursue my passion
in a beautiful and inspiring city.
Charlie Massa – International Affairs/Gender Studies (Class of 2027)
Hometown: Naples, Italy
I was born and raised in Southern Italy in a Cuban household, thus experiencing a
multicultural environment from a young age. Throughout my academic career, I have
participated in various MUNs that allowed me to travel both in Europe and the US.
Thanks to this experience and my background, I knew I wanted to study International
Affairs in a multicultural environment. JCU was the perfect fit for me, both on an
academic and personal level. It has been the perfect place to grow, and it also allowed
me to pursue my second passion: Gender Studies.
Gracie Littleton – Communications/Digital Media Arts and Production/Gender Studies (Class of 2027)
Hometown: Dallas, Texas (USA)
I always knew I wanted to spend my life traveling the world, so when I discovered
JCU, I immediately applied knowing I would get both the education and travel experience
I was searching for. Every year, I look forward to all the new places I will see,
memories I will make, and things I will learn while being abroad during some of my
most formative years.
Carlo Flamer – International Affairs/Business Administration (Class of 2026)
Hometown: New, York, New York (USA)
Coming from the culturally diverse environment of NYC, I have always been drawn towards
studying abroad, one day. I come from Italian-American parents, which made JCU the
perfect fit for me. If you are searching for a school with an engaging and multicultural
environment where you can meet peers from around the globe, while studying in one
of the most historical and beautiful cities of the world, then JCU is the place for
you!
Karla Santillana – Communications/Art & Design (Class of 2025)
Hometown: McAllen, Texas (USA)
I’m Mexican with a sparkle of Spanish heritage, but I have lived in the U.S. my whole
life until I moved to Paris when I was 17. There I fell in love with Europe and knew
I wanted to stay. JCU was the perfect choice for me because it allowed me to be in
an international environment while still pursuing my academic goals. I’m studying
Communications with a minor in Art and Design, and I can’t wait to help you with your
future endeavours!
Cristina Zekert – International Affairs/Economics and Finance/Psychology (Class of 2026)
Hometown: Rome, Italy and Sydney, Australia
I’m Italian and Syrian, but I have lived extensively in the U.S. and Australia. I’ve
been exposed to quite an international environment my whole life, both personally
and educationally. I remember walking around Trastevere as a kid and wondering what
it would be like to study at JCU. It was the perfect fit for me because it let me
reconnect to my roots in such a global community, and earn an American degree. I am
proud to represent JCU, and look forward to being there for all new and existing students!
Ginevra Cecconi – International Business (Class of 2026)
Hometown: Rome, Italy
I grew up in Rome in a bilingual household, with my mother passing on her love for
the English language after living in the U.S. for many years. Choosing John Cabot
University was a natural progression of that. With one of the top business schools,
it provides the ideal setting to pursue a degree in International Business, while
engaging with a diverse global community. Studying here allows me to grow both academically
and personally, preparing me to thrive in an international and ever-evolving world.
