"Hey everyone! I'm a Yali Ackerman a junior currently studying social studies and AFVS (video/production track) and living in Cabot house. I am originally from Mexico City, I've had the unique experience of attending the French International school since the age of 2, making French my third language! Along the way, I've also called Washington DC and Paris home. When I'm not hitting the books, you'll likely find me at the Harvard radio station, grooving to some awesome tunes or scouting out new biking spots. I'm all about seizing opportunities for summer study abroad, diving into public service, and have a love/hate relationship with Model UN. My freshman summer I studied abroad in Fez, Morocco, my sophomore summer in Bogota, Colombia. And this upcoming summer? I'll be diving into some serious thesis research. Feel free to reach out to her if you have any questions! I'm sooo excited to meet all of you! "
