Aishah's Program

Arts + Sciences (Yonsei University)

Hi, I’m Aishah! I’m a Global Marketing Communications major with a Studio Art minor, currently studying at Marist University's Lorenzo de’ Medici campus in Florence, Italy.

I’m passionate about exploring new cultures, trying local foods, and expanding my global perspective through travel and immersive experiences.

Outside the classroom, you can usually find me practicing yoga, playing card games with friends, watching classic films, or working my way through a good book (especially the classics).

Always curious, always learning, and always ready for the next adventure.
