My name is Tayla-Lee, and I am from Auckland. I am studying a Bachelor of Global Studies majoring in Spanish with Latin America area studies and Global Politics and Human Rights. I am also doing a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Criminology and International Relations. 

I applied for this programme to open my mind and experiences to a new set of cultural ideas. I also wanted to expand my global citizenship in a program that would challenge me.
