Pronouns: She/Her

Hi, everyone! I’m Nilda Castañeda Figueroa, a Puerto Rican 4th year Graphic Design student minoring in Marketing and Language Science. Ever since high school, I have wanted to study abroad in South Korea. Learning more about the country, its culture, and its language helped shape my university career, so I needed to visit the country before graduating. After much hard work, I achieved that goal during the 2024 Spring semester, attending Sogang University in Seoul. From the moment I landed in Korea, I grew so much as a person, experiencing all the hardships and amazing benefits of going abroad. If you ever want to know what highs and lows to expect or want to talk about Korea, immersion in a foreign language, the Hispanic experience abroad, or traveling solo, I’m the one to go to. Feel free to email me.
