Hi!! My name is Kaelyn Rauhut, and I just finished my freshman year at Pitt studying Marketing and Business Analytics with a certificate in digital media. Outside of school, I am in the Delta Zeta Sorority and a part of the Women in Business club. I have an older brother and a cat named Mango. My Plus3 destination is Costa Rica, and I am super excited!

I chose the Costa Rica location to learn more about their eco-friendly practices, especially in the coffee sector. Personally, I hope this experience will challenge me to step outside my comfort zone, immerse myself in a different culture, and grow more adaptable and globally aware. I also hope to deepen my understanding of international business through the site visits, lectures, and firsthand experiences, as well as strengthen my cross-cultural communication skills.

Not only am I excited to learn all about Costa Rica, but I am excited to explore as well and see all of the nature and wildlife!
