Grüezi, My name is Sam Utzinger, and I am a third-year Data Science student with a German minor who studied at the Universität Zürich in Switzerland. I am a triple citizen, with my mother from Oxford, England, and my father from Switzerland. Having lived on four continents, I have been fortunate to make friends from all over the world. During my semester abroad, I thrived in the rigorous academic environment at my university while also finding time to travel to 10 countries with the incredible friends I made along the way. I’m excited to connect with and grow our family of travelers!

Paige Oliver

Education Abroad Student Employee
Hello, my name is Paige Oliver! I am a senior at NAU and plan to graduate this May with a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental and Sustainability Studies. While pursuing my degree, I have had the privilege to pursue multiple study abroad opportunities in Italy, Hawai’i, and Australia. These experiences have simply put changed my life, by deeply enriching my education, and fostering my passion for international learning and cultural exchange. So much so that I have decided to pursue International Education as a career after graduation. I want to help other students have the opportunity to study abroad.
