Meet Abby
Meet your 2025-26 Peer Advisor, Abby Green! She is a senior at UR from Brentwood, Tennessee. In Spring 2024, Abby studied in Rome, Italy for the semester with IES. Following her spring program, she completed an internship in Assisi, Italy at the Assisi International School as an English Teaching Assistant and Summer School Instructor. After finishing her internship, Abby rounded out the rest of her summer by attending UR's Summer Program based in Perugia.

In all of her programs, she focused on honing her Italian language skills and completing other requirements for her Leadership Studies and PPEL majors.
Now, as a Study Abroad Peer Advisor, Abby is excited to help students choose the abroad program that not only satisfies their academic and professional needs, but that also will allow them to grow as individuals.
