Alumni – MIT VISTA

I have actually been a visiting student at Harvard but Vista is a place where all visiting students in the Boston area are welcomed.

VISTA – “Your family abroad”. The motto really applies. As a visiting student, I wrote my master’s thesis at MIT for 6 months and became aware of VISTA in the first month. I will never forget all of the cool events, the many friends and the great board meetings. St. Patrick’s Day, Sports Events, Beach Day, 4th of July BBQ and much more. It was always great fun to meet all the international, highly motivated students and to have a great time. I can only recommend everyone to go to the Open Board Meetings. Be it free pizza or because you have cool ideas for events yourself. The board is very happy about any support and feedback from the visiting students. Thanks for everything VISTA <3

VISTA definitely was a family abroad for me when I was doing my research internship in Tissue Engineering and Biofabrication at a Harvard Medical School lab. During my time, I was a dance teacher and VP of Communications alongside Jorge, and I believe we created a very dynamic team. Being the only Latina at the VISTA Board in 2019, it gave me the opportunity to collaborate, create, share with amazing people, and expand my point of view; for that, I’m extremely grateful. Feel free to contact me if you want to chat! 😀
