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!

Marina Badalamenti – International Affairs/Legal Studies (Class of 2025)

Hometown: Palermo, Italy
Since my exchange year in the Faroe Islands, I knew I wanted to study in an international environment. JCU gives me the chance to experience that every day, while also studying what fascinates me the most. The University has a large international community, full of students and faculty from a variety of locations.

Francesca Visconti – Psychological Science/Legal Studies (Class of 2025)

Hometown: Naples, Italy
I was born and raised in Naples. I love the American academic system and college life, so JCU is the perfect fit for me. Here, I combine the benefits of living and studying in my home country with an American liberal arts education. John Cabot is the perfect place for that because I can follow my passion for Psychological Science and Legal Studies while living in a different, international environment.

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!

TEMASHENGU N. LITCHFIELD-TSHABALALA – English Literature/Communications (Class of 2025)

Hometown: Johannesburg/Pretoria, South Africa
I'm from South Africa and Eswatini. Before coming to JCU I thought that being a writer, a filmmaker, a literary critic and a media analyst were disconnected and I couldn't learn or do all of them. At John Cabot University, I had the opportunity to combine such different disciplines. The teaching style, academics and international space continuously open my mind to new concepts, ideas, theories, cultures and experiences.
