Meet Your Student Ambassadors

Quito, Ecuador 
The moment I learned about JCU, I knew it was the place for me. Choosing to move from South America to Europe was not easy. It meant leaving my family, my comfort zone, and everything familiar behind. When I arrived at John Cabot University, I quickly felt at home. What began as a big and uncertain change, it soon became a “home away from home.” The welcoming environment and diverse community helped me grow not only as a student, but also as a person.Through the university, I was able to travel and participate in study abroad programs in both the United States and Japan. These experiences were truly life changing, and they challenged me, helped me grow, and shaped who I am today. Everything I have experienced—academically, culturally, and personally—has been possible thanks to JCU. 

Orlando, Florida (USA)
I was born in Caracas, Venezuela and raised in the United States. My life’s been shaped by the dance between two cultures. At home, I held onto my roots while outside, I learned to adapt. That contrast did not confuse me, but It sparked my curiosity. I realized early on that each person walks through life carrying their own story, their own experiences, and the things they hold dear. I have always been drawn to that kind of richness, and that is what makes JCU so exciting.

The University brings the world to one campus, so if you are someone who loves that kind of energy and vibe, you will feel at home here at John Cabot.

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.

New York City, New York (USA)
As a native New Yorker with a multicultural background, much of my personal development stems from being surrounded by a diverse set of people. JCU’s international affairs and political science courses are very strong, and the classes foster important skills, primarily critical thinking and the ability to empathize with those adjacent to you.

I chose JCU for my transition into adulthood, since the diverse student body and academic quality has allowed me to continue to learn and grow as a person.

Florence, Italy 
My background is a blend of Italian, American and Mexican heritages. This didn't just shape my identity; it also sparked curiosity and a never-ending pursuit of exploration. JCU was the perfect option for me, because it is the ideal place for anyone who values diversity, growth, and authenticity.

I believe that being in a city like Rome provides a unique opportunity to learn and connect with a community that encourages individual growth while fostering international connections.  

Medellin, Colombia
Being born in the US but having lived most of my life in Colombia, I learned early how to adapt and appreciate the diverse cultures that surround me. John Cabot was the best fit for me, as it aligns with my goals while also pushing me outside of my comfort zone.

Studying Communications in the heart of Rome is an incredible opportunity to explore my interests while experiencing new perspectives every day. As an ambassador, I am looking forward to sharing my experiences and helping both new and current students make the most of their time at JCU. 

Rome, Italy 
I have Jordanian roots and a touch of Arab culture that has always shaped my perspective. Growing up between different cultures sparked my curiosity about the world and inspired me to seek new experiences. That’s one of the reasons why I chose John Cabot University.

I’m passionate about business, finance, and entrepreneurship, and outside the classroom I enjoy football and sports in general. At JCU, I have the opportunity to explore academics, sports, and other cultures all at once, in an international and dynamic environment.

Madrid, Spain 
I grew up among many cultures. I spent my entire life moving from country to country with my Latin American parents, but Rome was the city that stood out the most. The architecture, the lifestyle, the language – it was all alluring.

JCU has allowed me to continue growing in an international environment I am used to. Thanks to passionate professors who know you by your name, and the wide range of opportunities from study abroad to internships, studying at JCU makes you feel blessed.

Como, Italy
I moved to Massachusetts with my family when I was 11 years old. Growing up in the United States allowed me to experience life within a culturally diverse environment from a young age. Living between two countries and cultures shaped the way I see the world and made me value the importance of being surrounded by people with different backgrounds and perspectives.

When I discovered John Cabot University, it immediately felt like it was the perfect fit. JCU gave me the opportunity to return to my home country while continuing to study in English, meet people from all over the world, and be part of a truly diverse community.  

Rome, Italy 
I have always been curious about new places and different perspectives. I grew up in Rome and then moved to Spain, an experience that pushed me outside of what was familiar and taught me to adapt to a new environment. When I later transferred to John Cabot University, I was drawn to its international environment and the opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds while still feeling part of a unique community. What I appreciate the most about JCU is the freedom to explore different interests and shape an academic path that reflects who I am. In my studies, I combine my interest in storytelling and communication with my passion for creativity and design. Being able to bring these two areas together is one of the things that makes my time at JCU so meaningful. 

Baku, Azerbaijan
Ever since I was a little girl, I had a dream of traveling the whole world and especially visiting Italy. I knew that I wanted to be part of an international student body, and study in the American liberal arts system, with a small, family-like environment.

Studying at JCU has given me so many beautiful opportunities, from meeting great professors and amazing friends, to making traveling more accessible. I absolutely love Rome and am so grateful to be able to live here and attend an American liberal arts university in the heart of the eternal city. 

Caserta, Italy 
Choosing JCU gave me the opportunity to study in an international environment while staying connected to my Italian roots. From the beginning, I was fascinated by the diversity of the JCU community and by the chance to interact with students from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds. This environment has helped me become more open-minded, independent, and confident, both academically and personally. As a Student Ambassador, I am excited to share my experience, meet prospective students, and help them discover what makes JCU such a unique place to study. I look forward to continuing to challenge myself, building meaningful connections, and taking advantage of everything the JCU community has to offer. 

Naples, Italy
The first time I discovered the word "cosmopolitan," someone who calls the world their homeland, I felt an instant connection. This vision inspired me to pursue an international path from an early age, studying languages and embracing different cultures through traveling.

Choosing John Cabot University has been the perfect continuation of my journey. Here, I have been able to deepen my passion for diplomacy, global governance, and human rights in a truly international environment. JCU has allowed me to grow both academically and personally, while preparing me to thrive as a citizen of the world.
