Nick Van Sandt
I have lots of interests, but my top 3 are music, travel, and fitness. I like to get involved and I'm always searching for new experiences.
I studied business abroad in Germany, Denmark, and Japan and speak German as a second language. I worked abroad in England for a summer and backpacked Europe for 2 months visiting 12 countries.
Although I'm currently still in school, one day I hope to get a job where I can frequently travel.
I'm currently studying business at Oregon State University.
