Student Profile

Casey Yanos, College of the Atlantic
Studying abroad at James Cook University

"Studying in Australia allows me the opportunity to learn about tropical habitats so that one day I might work in that setting for my own research. I also feel that my time abroad will be an important stepping stone for me to develop better communication and collaboration skills, to be able to understand others from different cultures and make connections with them."
