TEAN - Australia - Kinesiology & Health, Perth

I have had the pleasure of studying and interning abroad in Perth, at the University of Western Australia with TEAN and ISA. I have had the most fantastic time exploring Australia and meeting new people. TEAN and ISA has made coming over here so easy with all of the help they provided me by helping me find my internship, student accommodation, and support 24/7 while abroad. I have met some of the most amazing people not only through my student accommodation and University but also other students that are here through TEAN and ISA. I have made lifelong friendships with those students and will cherish that forever. Some of the amazing opportunities and excursions that I have been able to do through TEAN and ISA was going to Cairns in Queensland and seeing the Great Barrier Reef, I have been able to go surfing, and also watch a professional AFL game. This is just a few of the many extra excursions and activities TEAN provides for their students abroad.

Despite being sent home due to COVID-19, this experience was one of the best. I got to study and intern in what I think is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Perth is a wonderful place to study abroad because the culture is fun, weather is great, and professional networking is similar to the US. I got to intern for an Aussie Rules Football team where I was a sports trainer. I learned a lot of hands-on skills and gained a lot of clinical experience. TEAN was a great program to work with because they make sure you are all set before you leave your home country, they get you set up once you are there and are available for support whenever you need it when you are in the host country, and they make departure a breeze also. TEAN sets you up for nothing but success.

After completing my internship this past fall, I knew that this experience would always be memorable in my life. I was able to work at a sports trainer + first aid in Perth. Australia. I worked with kids of all different ages and that played all different sports such as Australian football, soccer, basketball, netball and more. This internship provided me with multiple techniques and tools that I will continue to use during my career path. The atmosphere was phenomenal , the people were friendly and I felt like I was at my second home. Overall, I will recommend this program and this amazing country to anyone who is considering either. I also thank TEAN and everyone else who helped me through the best three months of my life
