"Say hello to Gabriella! as a recent immigrant from Brazil who knows so many different languages, her experiences and knowledge of various cultures makes her the perfect role model for any international student.

"I immigrated to Vancouver over 2 years ago. I am at SFU at the French Cohort Program doing a Political Science major and a French minor. I'm passionate about politics and the way governments work and influence our lives. Also, I love learning new languages because I feel like language can influence the way we think. When learning a new language you get to experience a new perspective of life through the point of view of another culture."
