About 

Sara is a fourth year pursuing a Bachelors of Architecture degree at The University of Texas at Austin. Her interests in Italian design, urbanism, and culture led her to enlist in the Study in Italy program this past fall. Sara’s studies center on opportunities to create economic and environmental sustainability. She spends her free time painting watercolor landscapes and would love to send you one.
