Hannah Sutton
Interviewed in 2021
StaffHannah has worked with the Student Engagement team at IFSA for 6 years. During her undergrad studies at Butler University, Hannah spent a semester in ...
I studied abroad with IFSA as an undergrad and loved the balance of support that came from going with a provider. Also, I loved the independence I still had as I was directly enrolled at a local university. I could forge my own experience, but still have someone to go to when I had questions or felt homesick. Working with IFSA gives me the chance to pay that experience forward and help guide students on their own journeys!

I like traveling and learning new things. I am open and accepting of learning about new cultures. I want to go into the medical field in the future. Every country has its own system of things such as schooling, education, healthcare and common diseases. Since I want to go into the medical field, I thought it was important to gain medical knowledge globally just because every place is different.
