Walk-in Hours

Bio

Kestral Johnston is a fifth year student majoring in environmental engineering. Her first abroad experience started in high school when she spent a year abroad in Brazil. After her first year at Northeastern, she knew she wanted to go abroad again and spent 2 months in Cagliari, Italy on a Dialogue of Civilizations. Since then, Kestral has been abroad for almost a year in Christchurch, New Zealand for both the Fall 2016 and Spring 2017 semesters. The first semester she spent as a traditional study abroad student, while the second semester was spend working at the University of Canterbury as a research assistant. When not traveling, Kestral enjoys learning about new cultures and different perspectives, and also working on improving water quality. Kestral is very excited to help other students pursue their own study aboard experiences and be a resource for all questions big and small.
